Javascript with Version 4.2.1 was created by mbarbalas20
We are interested in using Javascript in our survey to set the default answers to "0" for an Array (numbers) type of question.

We looked at the documentation ( www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...ime_using_Javascript ) and tried the plugin recommended. We got an error message that this plugin is "not compatible with your version of Limesurvey".

Is there another way to enable Javascript within Version 4.2.1?

Hi, unfortunately your link doesn't show the exact snippet.

But the one I found said "tested with 2.05"
Of course you cannot expect it to work in 4.x.

Is there a special reason that you want to use javascript?
You can do it easily by ExpressionScript.

In version 4.x, assuming you have the correct permissions, there is an editor field where you can enter JavaScript directly when editing questions.

Is there a different way to Javascript to set the default answer to 0 and have it prefilled ? There was some years back exactly this thread, but that was locked, so apologies for reposting.

I have a classical array, not array by numbers (even though the answer code is numbers), but it would be great to simply have the 'not interested' field prefilled.

1) This is not relevant to this topic. Please start a new topic.

2) Always attach survey exports (.lss) files, not question exports. The volunteers here should not have to spend time creating surveys to test your problems.

First of all - apologies.

"We are interested in using Javascript in our survey to set the default answers to "0" for an Array (numbers) type of question."

I thought this was essentially still the old topic.

Secondly, sure, I thought it was easier to import a test question into an existing survey than set up a complete survey.

Can also extract survey of course.

No, let me apologize, I didn't read back far enough.

Please attach a survey export (.lss file) containing only the relevant question.

So the default setting should be 'No Interest', i.e. 0.

And the reader only then requested to shift the items relevant to her/him.

Thanks, and thanks for the instructions on how to best post in the forum.

This will set a default answer of "0" in an array question:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // Identify this question var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}'); var defaultCode = 0; // Loop through the rows $('tr.answers-list', thisQuestion).each(function(i) { var thisRow = $(this); // Set default answer if($('input:radio:checked', thisRow).length == 0) { $('input:radio[value="'+defaultCode+'"]', thisRow).trigger('click'); } }); }); </script>

Hi - Confirmed- works like a charm.


On a questionnaire with 200 question out of which only 10 are expected to be picked, this is a major major help !
