Mandatory rows and default values in array with drop down menu was created by supernul
Hello everybody,


I have 2 questions about the array with drop down menu:
- I would like to make some rows mandatory (rows 1, 4 and 10) but I am not able to correctly modify a code I found so it do not works
- I would like to make the default value of the other rows (2,3 and 5,6,7,8,9 and 11,12,13) take "as transportation" (or "as build-up" or "semi-natural") instead of "..."

I join my question with what I was able to do.

Thank you for your help.

I don't think you need to worry about mandatory rows if you set default answers in the other rows. If the question is set to "mandatory", the non-defaulted rows will automatically be required.

Try something like this (you will need to change the values for the defaults):

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    // Insert new dropdown values
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ001 option[value=0]').text('not involved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ001 option[value=1]').text('partially involved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ001 option[value=2]').text('always involved');
 
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ002 option[value=0]').text('not involved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ002 option[value=1]').text('partially involved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ002 option[value=2]').text('always involved');
 
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ003 option[value=0]').text('not involved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ003 option[value=1]').text('partially involved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ003 option[value=2]').text('always involved');
 
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ004 option[value=0]').text('No practice in ');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ004 option[value=1]').text('Short-term experience in ');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ004 option[value=2]').text('Long-term experience in ');
 
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ005 option[value=0]').text('was not achieved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ005 option[value=1]').text('was partially achieved');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ005 option[value=2]').text('was fully achieved');
 
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ006 option[value=0]').text('was weak');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ006 option[value=1]').text('was medium');
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ006 option[value=2]').text('was strong');
 
    // Define rows to have default answers
    var defaultedRows = [2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13];
 
    // Loop through all "defaulted" rows and set default answers
    $(defaultedRows).each(function(i, value) {
      // Column 1
      $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(0)').val(0);
      // Column 2
      $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(1)').val(1);
      // Column 3
      $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(2)').val(2);
      // Column 4
      $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(3)').val(0);
      // Column 5
      $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(4)').val(1);
      // Column 6
      $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(5)').val(2);
    });
  });
</script>

Here's your sample question back with those modifications:

Thank you for your answer. It is not exactly what I am looking for but it gives me ideas even if they do not work. I still try.
Code:
<p><strong>Fill the following table with proposal of the drop down menu</strong>.</p>
 
<p><em>You can fill the transportation, build-up area and (semi-)natural lines only (corresponding unfilled sublines will be considered taken the same values) or fill the sublines too (one or several cells) to distinguish values.</em>></p>
 
<p>For instance, <em>interest groups</em> can be partially involved about the development of <em>build-up area</em> but you can specify that they are always involved <em>about industrial activity</em> and <em>commerce/services</em>.</p>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    // Insert new dropdown values
    $('#question{QID} .answer_cell_SQ001 option[value=0]').text('not involved');

Thinking about this a little more - when setting default values, you should probably put in a test to see if the drop-down was previously answers.

Code:
// Loop through all "defaulted" rows and set default answers
$(defaultedRows).each(function(i, value) {
  // Column 1
  if($('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(0)').val() == '') {
    $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(0)').val(3)
  }
  // Column 2
  if($('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(1)').val() == '') {
    $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(1)').val(3)
  }
  // Column 3
  if($('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(2)').val() == '') {
    $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(2)').val(3)
  }
  // Column 4
  if($('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(3)').val() == '') {
    $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(3)').val(3)
  }
  // Column 5
  if($('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(4)').val() == '') {
    $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(4)').val(3)
  }
  // Column 6
  if($('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(5)').val() == '') {
    $('#question{QID} tr.subquestion-list:eq('+(value-1)+') select:eq(5)').val(3)
  }
});

Thank you for your answer.
I attached a created picture of what I would obtain.

Based on your preview answers my idea would be to set the default value with the fourth value of the drop down menu and set different fourth value. For instance :

for rows 2 and 3:
- not involved
- partially involved
- always involved
- as transportation

for rows 5 to 9:
- not involved
- partially involved
- always involved
- as build-up

Is it possible?

Sorry, I have given several code examples already, I don't have the time to give a new example whenever you change your mind.
