Comment box label: how to change it ? was created by jsansonn

Hello
Looks like a very simple question, but I cannot find any answer working with limesurvey 3.6.2...

using a "list with comment", I want to change comments label. From "Please enter your comment here:" to "Please explain:"

This solution used to work with my older install (2.X.X) of limesurvey, but not with recent installs:

Code:

<script>
$(function() {
$("#question{QID} .comment label").text("Please explain:");
});
</script>

I also would like to change "no answer" label (used in non mandatory questions) to "No answer / not applicable", it there a way to do it ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Julien

Hi,
to answer your first question:

Code:

<script>
$(function() {
$("label[for=answer{SGQ}comment].control-label").text("Please explain:");
});
</script>

and your second question:
1. Set "Show "No answer"" to OFF

2. Add your own "no answer" option

Regards

Hi Joffm,
can you please tell me where I have to insert the commands for changing the box description like you mentioned above?

<script>
$(function() {
$("label[for=answer{SGQ}comment].control-label").text("Please explain:");
});
</script>

Will this work if I put it in my custom css in the "theme editor?

I work with LimeSurvey Version 3.22.17

Thank you very much!

Hi,

you see that it is a javascript snippet.
So you cannot insert it into a css-file.

Concerning that you want to display always an adequate text you should insert it into the question text (in source code mode)
as described here
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey

But you may insert it into your "custom.js" if you want to have all descriptions equal.

Ah alright, thank you very much! :-)

So turning off "Filter HTML for XSS" won't harm the rest of my survey?
I really just want to change this for one question, so the manual description should be the best solution, I guess.

I'm basically a "beginner beginner", so I did not recogize the Java snippet...^^
