Hiding specific checkboxes in multiple choice & with comments

Hiding specific checkboxes in multiple choice & with comments was created by krosser
Hi guys,

I am trying to hide specific input items in multiple choice and multiple choice with comments. I have come across this old thread , but the script there does not work in LS 3.15 any more.

For some reason the part "input.checkbox" does not work, if added. I have adjusted the li. part that hides the element completely.

The multiple choice
Code:
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">      
  $(document).ready(function() {  
 
    $('#question{QID} li.question-item.answer-item.checkbox-item:eq(0)').css ({                     
      'display': 'none' 
    });
 
  });
</script>

The multiple choice with comments
Code:
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">      
  $(document).ready(function() {  
 
    $( '#question{QID} li.row.checkbox-text-item.form-group:eq(0)').css ({                     
      'display': 'none' 
    });
 
 
  });
</script>


Any help with updating the script would be much appreciated.
Sample survey attached.

The HTML structure has changed in 3.x. This should work for both question types:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#question{QID} .answers-list li:eq(0)').hide();
  });
</script>

This hides the answer choice but I wanted hide only the checkbox. But adding 'input.checkbox' does not work.
Code:
</script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#question{QID} .answers-list li:eq(0) input.checkbox').hide();

Maybe you could explain what you are trying to achieve. The check-boxes in 3.x are actually pseudo-elements in the labels but hiding those will not prevent checking the box - clicking on a visible label will toggle the box, regardless of visibility.

I would like to hide certain checkboxes, keeping the labels and the last checkbox, which is a "Do not know" exclusive answer choice.
In multiple choice with comments I will hide the comment box for the "Do not know" exclusive answer.

I don't need to prevent checking the boxes.

Add something like this to the question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#question{QID} .answers-list li:eq(0)').addClass('hidden-checkbox');
  });
</script>

Add something like this to custom.css:

Code:
.hidden-checkbox label::before,
.hidden-checkbox label::after {
  display: none;
}

In multiple choice with comments I will hide the comment box for the "Do not know" exclusive answer.


Add something like this to the question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#question{QID} .answers-list li:last input:text').hide();
  });
</script>

I have also tried to adjust the padding, using CSS, and this code has worked for the multiple choice with comments:
Code:
.checkbox-text-item.hidden-checkbox .checkbox-item,
.checkbox-text-item.hidden-checkbox .checkbox-item label {
  padding-left: 0;
}

For multiple choice without comments, this code worked:
Code:
.answers-list.hidden-checkbox .checkbox-item,
.answers-list.hidden-checkbox .checkbox-item label {
    padding-left: 0;
}

Question :

Did you try
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#question{QID} .answers-list li:eq(0) input:checkbox').addClass('invisible');
  });
</script>
?

I have tried this code, but adding the invisible class didn't hide the checkbox.

I think you need to hide the label pseudo elements, not the actual checkboxes.

Well, you are right, I needed to hide the label pseudo elements. I haven't used the correct terminology in my response. Sorry about that.

I does work, Tony. I just wanted to move the labels to the left, adjusting the padding. But the CSS code needed to be different for the simple multiple choice and multiple choice with comments. That's all.

Hi

I have managed to hide the checkbox, but moving the label left didn't work. What I did notice is that the hyperlink on the label still activates the checkbox.

Can you explain how you managed to move the label as the code above doesn't seem to work in custom.css.

FYI LS version is 3.17

Thanks

marc

Can you please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish with a mock-up, give your LimeSurvey version and attach a small sample survey (.lss file).
