Hello,

I created a survey with a script in one question (some answers are prefilled, e. g. see the attached file Question 1). On my Computer it all works fine.
But: When I import the survey to the server, the "source text" gets deleted. I am also not able to save scripts on the server. if i click save and then open it again it is just not there anymore.

I would very much appreciate any tips!

Thank you

What do you exactly mean with "the source text gets deleted"? What source? Does it affect the whole survey or just this specific question?

How do you import the survey?
When you say "with a script", you have some kind of Javascript in the survey? Did you make sure that the use of Javascript is enabled on your server?

thank you for your quick answer!
I just click "source" then I enter this:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#answer132849X3X16SQ001-A1').trigger('click');
});
</script>

then I click save. After that that "code" is not there anymore when I click source again.
Also when I import the survey where it is also implemented, the code gets deleted and is not there in the new imported survey.

I don't know if java-script is enabled. How can i check that?

Thanks for you help!

You would find a pretty good description of that in the manual: www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey

Also, it is always recommendable to mention which version of LS you are working with. Otherwise it can be difficult to help you, because the solutions / issues might be totally different on different versions of LS.

My Version: 2.54.2+161012

That's exactly what I did, but the script does not save.

Would have been great to mention in which question the JS should be. So I had to go through each question. At least until Q3...

I imported your lss and everything looks fine:



Tested with LS 2.54.4+ 161018

What version is your local installation and what version is installed on your server? Maybe there has been a problem in a version between those two?

If not: Something strange is going on on your server.

My Version: Version 2.54.2+161012
Server Version: Version 2.54.3

But the thing is I am not able to save the script on the server. I paste, save, click source again. And it is gone ..

Well, this doesn't exclude the chance that there has been a bug in 2.54.3 that isn't there in 2.54.2 and 2.54.4.

Solutions:
1. check bug fixes
2. update and see if the problem persists

If problem on the server persists after updating, then you have something strange going on on your server setup.

Sounds like the XSS filter is enabled.

That is what I thought, but then he says he did exactly what was in my link here:
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey

It clearly states:

Go to Global settings --> Security and set "Filter HTML for XSS" to "Off".

So either he did NOT exactly "that" or there is something else.

I asked him to do what it says in that link but he claims it didn't work.

By the way, olle and i helped him with that trigger script to pre select an option. However, that will most likely trigger that option again if a user uses the back button, is it possible to somehow only fire a trigger function once?

It looks like you are clicking a radio in an array of some sort. Without knowing the details, I would say you should check to see if there are any checked radios in that row before firing the click trigger.
