Thanks Tpartner.

A working model for this would be super useful, as this type of question come up a lot. It's all about how the question is displayed to the survey taker and tries to group items into logical sections / headings. Personally I really think this should be built into LS as part of the question - I will add it to feature requests. My current version is LS 3.17.2

The Layout is as Such

Heading 1

• Option 1
• Option 2
• Option 3

Heading 2

• Option 4
• Option 5
• Option 6

Thanks in Advance

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

Yes, you are right about checkboxes being activated when labels are clicked. It registers a 'Yes' for them. But this workaround for the user/respondent and they don't know. I know that you will need to clean your export data if they accidentally click on those labels.

Regarding moving labels to the left, if you used Tony's script for adding the class "hidden-checkbox", then you can try the following in custom.css for a basic multiple-choice (without comments):

Hi,

I am currently migrating from LimeSurvey 2.05+ to 3.19.2. I was using the following script to hide checkboxes next to headlines in a multiple choice question without comments:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#answer{SGQ}t1').hide();
$('#answer{SGQ}t2x1').hide();
$('#answer{SGQ}t2x2').hide();
$('#answer{SGQ}t2x3').hide();
$('#answer{SGQ}t2x4').hide();
}); </script>

The results was as in the attached image.


I have added the scripts proposed by tpartner, and they work fine to hide the box but the label was not shifted to the left although I added the lines in the custom.css file:

.answers-list .hidden-checkbox,
.answers-list .hidden-checkbox label {
padding-left: 0;
}

Any ideas ?


I was also wondering if there is a way to use the subquestion code to specify the check boxes to be hidden in the following line, rather than using the subquestions "number":


$('#question{QID} .answers-list li:eq(0)').addClass('hidden-checkbox');



If there is already a request for this feature (i.e. adding headings to multiple choice lists) I would be happy to vote for it.

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Ana

What theme are you using?

Can you attach a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only the relevant question and your code?

Hi Tony,

thanks for your quick reply.
I am using vanilla.
Here is a sample survey.

There is another weird thing: at the bottom of the question there are two large boxes and I have no idea where they are coming from...

Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Ana

You'll need to use a combination of JavaScript and CSS.

Thanks a lot for your help!

The script works great to place the headings to the left.
However I still have the weird boxes on the bottom of the question (see image attached) when I add the script to my original survey, but they are not there in the sample survey you sent me... any ideas on where they could be coming from?

Since you didn't mention this in your reply, I guess there is no way to use the subquestion code instead of the line number, right?

I am just asking because I have to create many different surveys with this question, where the headings (thus the subquestion codes) remain the same, but the amount of options (subquestions) between them varies, and it is quite annoying to have to count the lines every time.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Ana

The boxes at the bottom are the result of unnecessary HTML in your help text.

I used indexes in my selectors because that's what you were working with in your sample survey. If you want to use sub-question codes, try this:

Thanks a lot! I have no idea how that html code landed in the help field.

I had actually asked about the codes in my original question, but maybe I was not clear enough.

Thanks again for your time and great support!

Hi tpartner,

I am trying to hide the text boxes for some subquestions in a multiple choice with comments question.

There are 7 "main" subquestions that should not have a comment box. These are kind of "category headings". If one of these is selected then "sub-items" are displayed, for which I would like to have a comment box, that should be mandatory if the box is checked.

A sample survey is attached.

I have tried the script you proposed with no success. (not even the last text box is hidden). Could you please give me a hint on how to proceed?

thanks in advance!


Ana

Hi, Ana,
though you didn't address me, a short answer.

Your javascript to hide the comments should be: You have to add the numbers of other coment-items.

You see

Thanks Joffm!!
That works great!
