Hi all,

I'm currently building a survey in which I want to ask for some agreement of the participants.

I have created a page with a radio question and two answer options: "Yes, I agree" and "No, I do not agree".

In case the participant chooses "Yes, I agree" and clicks next, I want to open a popup to ask if he/she is really sure (this is not my idea but a requirement of our data protection commissioner...) - if "no" is clicked, the next page is openend.

In the popup we need some more text and the options "Cancel" (brings me back to the page with the radio question) and "Proceed" (finally brings me to the next page).

I assume this is possible using JavaScript and I have already found this thread www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...-you-can-skip#123351 which looks promising to me especially because the "Window confirm method" is mentioned ( www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_confirm.asp ). However, I have no JavaScript skills and would greatly appreciate your help!

Limesurvey version 3.2. (not completely sure which exact one - the only recommended update is 3.20.0 (191112))

LimeSurvey has implemented an agreement function for dataprotection GDPR compliance.
You should use that before implementing workarounds which than might fail in a certain percentage of browsers.

You can always find the exact version of Limesurvey at the bottom right of your administration screen.

I agree with Jelo, I would not try to implement something like a popup, especially if you don't have experience in doing it. Have a look at the agreement Jelo mentions, maybe it is already what you need.

If the dataprotection officer requires a second step, you could always implement a second question that simulates the "Are you really sure" on the next page. I think it is overkill, but what can you do, if it is a requirement...

Thanks for your valuable answers! The gdpr idea looks promising, but won't do what I need, I'm afraid, because of the mandatory checkbox.

If the participant in my survey chooses yes, that's as fine as choosing no. The survey can be completed anyways. It's an additional agreement for using the results in more cases.

The idea with the second page seems the easiest to implement, thanks for that! But if you have an idea for a fancier solution (i.e. Popup ) that would make me very happy!

In a survey, never go for fancy, but rather with easy to implement and working fine, ideally out of the box implemented in the survey tool already. Only go for external solutions if no other option available. Stay away from fancy. Chances are high that it will cause more problems than doing something good.

It doesn't make me happy, but you are probably right, holch!

I had one more idea that I want to try out and share here: Instead of a popup, I will create two questions in a question group and add a relevance equation to the second question. So it's only displayed if the first agreement question was answered with "Yes".

Will it possible to make both questions mandatory? I'm a bit worried about the second question that is not always displayed - will the participant get a warning to answer a question that he does not see when clicking Next?

Best

It doesn't make me happy,

We are not here to make you happy...

No problem to create both questions and make them mandatory. If the question is NOT displayed, it is also not mandatory. LS knows that if a question is not supposed to be shown due to a relevance equation, that it can't be forced to be filled. Just try it and see what happens.

Basically your solution is my solution just that I would have put it on the next page and you seem to want to show it on the same page. Not much difference.
