I regularly use the following script to anchor/lock the position of an answer code (e.g. Don't know) to the bottom of a randomised list after other-specify, and it works well. However, this time I need to anchor the FIRST answer option, have other-specify as the last option, and randomise all of the other answer options.
I have tinkered with this script as best I can but don't seem to be able to get it to work. Any ideas?
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
// The number of answers to be fixed at the end of the list
var fixedAnswers = 1;
// Set this to "true" if you want "Other" to be fixed in the last position
var otherFixed = false;
// Identify this question
var qID = {QID};
// Find the number of answers
var ansCount = $('#question'+qID+' .answer-item').length;
if($('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
ansCount = ansCount -1
}
console.log(ansCount);
// Place the last n answers created at the end of the list
var fixedIndex = fixedAnswers - 1;
for (var i=0; i<fixedAnswers; i++) {
var answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]');
var answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item');
var answersList = $(answer).closest('ul');
$(answersList).append(answerItem);
fixedIndex--;
}
// Handle "Other"
if(otherFixed == true && $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
var otherAnswer = $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]');
var otherAnswerItem = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.answer-item');
var otherAnswersList = $(otherAnswer ).closest('ul');
$(otherAnswersList).append(otherAnswerItem);
}
});
</script>
