Hi

I wanted to have a character counter on my text questions and found this code:
{strlen(self.NAOK)}
Can someone tell me how to insert this in a question? Does it belong in the source code of the question and must it be enclosed with <script></script> or similar?

Thanks!

I tried this script but I guess I'm still missing something...

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function({document.write("You use {count(self.NAOK)} character")}))
</script>

No,

Just put in Questin text (for a short/long … text question)

You answer with {strlen(self.NAOK)}

Nothing to do with javascript, it's included in LimeSurvey (it does js needed function)

You have some example : www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri..._a_previous_question

Hi, thanks. What do you mean with "You answer with {strlen(self.NAOK)}"? Do I have to put this somewhere in the answer options or does it belong in the source code of the question? When I put it in the latter like this it is just displayed as text in the question...

There are no answer options for short or long text questions.

Place it in the question text as Denis told you.

Thank you very much! However when I put it inside without any "<script></script> or similar it is just shown as text of the question.. Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

You must give more information …

You ask questions since some day now, and never tell your LimeSurvey version … for example

Hi the version is Version 3.23.6+ and as in you screenshot the code {strlen(self.NAOK)} is just shown in the text. I don't get how this should count any characters? Thank you again

Did you try ?

Several times.. If I do not have something like <script></script> or <style></style> or whatever it always shows up as text

You need to use the "source" mode. If you just paste it into the WYSIWYG-Editor, then it is displayed as text. On the top left of the editor you see a button "source", click that. It should show all html elements in your question text. If you paste your code in the source mode, it will be interpreted as code, if you put it in the WYSIWYG mode it will be interpreted as normal text.
