fix the answers in a Matrix was created by Carlotta123
If the matrix is quite Long it would be nice if the answers would be fixed if the people scroll down. Is that possible? And also it would be nice if the question would be fixed, while scrolling.
The Idea comes from excel, were it´s possible to do this.
Thanks were much for your answers.

You can fix the position of the header row with the display:sticky rule but you will need to define a maximum height for the answer container. In my opinion, this may result in some respondents not seeing all of the sub-questions.

- www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp

Add some CSS something like this to the question source:

Code:
<style type="text/css" data-author="Tony Partner">
 
  @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {  
    #question{QID} .answer-container {
      position: relative;
      max-height: 500px;
      overflow: scroll;
    }
 
    #question{QID} table.subquestion-list {
      text-align: left;
      position: relative;
      border-collapse: collapse; 
    }
 
    #question{QID} table.subquestion-list thead th,
    #question{QID} table.subquestion-list thead td  {
      position: sticky;
      top: 1px;
      z-index: 1000;
      background: #DDDDDD;
      border: 0 none;
      box-shadow: -1px 0 #000000, 0 1px #000000, 1px 0 #000000, 0 -1px #000000;
    }
 
    #question{QID} table.subquestion-list .ls-heading-repeat {
      display: none;
    }
  }
</style>

@Carlotta123 : always pit your LimeSurvey version and build number when you ask a question.

I'ml afraid you can not apply the patches so easily on a 2.5X version.

Hello,

This works nicely in the version of Limesurvey I am using (LimeSurvey Cloud Version 5.2.13, fruity theme), thank you! I do wonder though if there is a way to have just the header move down as we scroll down the "main page"?

I hope I am making sense. 

Thank you!

Hi, 

I have merged this code with the code mentioned here:  forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...able-cells-in-arrays but I'm not sure why when I do include the following in custom.css:

td.inserted-header {
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle !important;
    font-style: Italic;
}

Nothing happens. Ie. The text I included in the header does not italicize or become bold. I'm wondering if there is something I missing?

Why do you add something to this 8 months old thread about a different topic.
You'd better stick to your other thread "Fixing added headers"
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...-fixing-added-header [/url]

But just adding this to the source of the question
Code:
<style type="text/css">td.inserted-header {
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: left;
    vertical-align: middle !important;
    font-style: italic;
    color:maroon;
}
</style>
shows this
 

You said you added the css to the custom.css.
Did you make sure that there is nothing left in the source of the question?

Hello,

If I wanted to UNBOLD the answer options (ie. Extremely unlikely, Unlikely, etc.), for ALL array questions, how would I go about doing this? I have currently attempted using:

<style type="text/css">td.answeroption {
font-weight: normal;
}
</style>

in my custom.css and theme.css however this did not change anything. I was thinking of including the array class but I am unsure on how to incorporate this (I would have to include all of the different array classes also).

Thank you!

Where did you find this class "td.answeroption" ?
Is it from a very, very old version of LimeSurvey?

If you investigate with the webdevelopment tool of your browser (F12) you will see
 

So add to your "custom.css"
Code:
.fruity .ls-answers .ls-heading th {
    font-weight: 400;  // or whatever you like
}

A month ago you said that you use "fruity". So you have to prepend the class with ".fruity"

And again you added your question to a post that is really not related to it.

And please heed this
In "theme.css"
 

Use the "custom.css"
