Multiple response other that can be ticked was created by tixeon
I recently discovered that people are dropping out of my surveys because they can't tick other in multiple response questions (see here:
forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...x-not-ticking#208099
)
I contacted support and they said this is just how the system works ( bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=16157 ).
Therefore, I need to come up with a work-around moving forward to reduce drop-outs and increase accuracy of responses (people can choose other without having to type something in).
My thinking is to:
The complication lies in the fact that other is seldom at the end of the list (usually there is a don't know or none after it - it needs to be this way as this is correct answer option flow).
Incidentally, I also have code in the question text that locks the other and don't know to the end of the list when randomised.
This will have the added benefit in that I won't have to write syntax in SPSS to generate a variable for other for when I run multiple response tables!
Does anyone have ideas on how this can be done?

My thinking is to:
- Include the other specify in the multiple response subquesiton list
- Create a short free text question after it that triggers if they click other
- Move the short free text question so it appears after the 'other' subquestion

1) Add this script to the question source:
2) Add something like these styles to the question source:
Sample survey attached:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // The "Other" sub-question code var otherCode = '6'; // Identify this question var qID = '{QID}'; var thisQuestion = $('#question'+qID); var nextQuestion = $(thisQuestion).nextAll('.text-short:eq(0)'); // Move the next question $('.answer-item[id$="X'+qID+otherCode+'"]', thisQuestion).append(nextQuestion); }); </script>
2) Add something like these styles to the question source:
Code:
<style type="text/css"> .answer-item .question-container { margin: 0 0 0 -20px; border: 0 none; background: transparent; } .answer-item .question-title-container, .answer-item .question-valid-container { display: none; } .answer-item .answer-container, .answer-item .answer-item { padding: 0; } </style>
Sample survey attached:
