Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to do something like the attached below with an array type question? (in one table).

Honestly this is way advanced for me which is why I'm not even sure of a starting point. Just thought to ask here just in case someone may have an idea. 

Thank you very much.

I don't have time for development today but two thoughts...

1) Insert drop-downs into an array-texts question. Joffm has given many examples of this.

2) Five list-radio questions moved into a custom table coded in a text-display question.
Cheers,

See here,

1. Something like your vertical buttons (second example)
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...ultiple-scale#225294 [/url]
Maybe you can adapt to your needs, each row different options
 

2. array(text) with dropdowns (different options in each row)
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issue...ions?start=15#215118 [/url]
 

3. As you have only one column you may use a "multiple short text" with different dropdowns in each subquestion
In this example there are always the same options (prov1).
You may create several and insert respectively

4. Multiple arrays merged with css classes "no-question" and "no-bottom"

5. HTML-table in question text with inserted radio buttons
Very rough without any better styling

Hi Joffm,

Thank you for your responses! #1. is working great. I actually changed it to checkboxes and am now working on figuring out how to restrict it so that they can answer a maximum of 2 answers per row with 1 answer per column (within the row). If you have any hints or ideas, that would be really greatly appreciated.

Okay weirdly when I duplicated the first question it doesn't show as the same style when previewing the survey and in group mode. But it does show it how I want when I preview the question by itself. I checked the source and I don't see anything but yeah I'm not sure why this is happening.

Hi, 
and...?
Where is the lss export of this question resp. group?
How can we say something without seeing what you did?

Joffm

And: What a waste of space, instead of a simple drop-down

I have no idea.
The script of the second question is not fired even if you only insert an "alert('Hello');"

But this script is originally of one of our Polish users.
You see that it looks very different from the usual ones here.

BUT:
I still do not know, if there are different answer options (what you showed in your first post) or not (as in your sample survey)
Nevertheless, you can do that.

For different answer options use an array(text) with several subquestions.
Insert the radios for each subquestion and
change 
$('.answer-item.answer_cell_a', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append(
to
$('tr.subquestion-list:eq(x) .answer-item.answer_cell_a', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append(
with x as the number of the subquestion starting at 0.

And the usual way to insert subheaders

In my opinion this is not too bad.

Hello!

You're idea is great and will help me with another question, thank you. Alas, my concern is that with keeping it in the big table, I want to respondents to only be allowed to select 1 answer per box, so they would be allowed to make 6 choices max, with no box having 2 answers. Hope I am making sense. I am ust not sure how to do the question validation with this type of question.

only be allowed to select 1 answer per box, so they would be allowed to make 6 choices max

These are radio buttons, so how can you select more than one in each box?

But unfortunately there were some typos regarding name="radio_".
There are some entries with name="radio".
So check and add the underscore and everything is fine.

Ah okay I will try that. Well, I don't want them to but as it is right now, they can.

Yes, exactly
Here you see
Code:
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="5"   class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio_" id="radio-5" /> 3 hours</span><br />\
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="6"   class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio"   id="radio-6" /> 4 hours</span><br />\
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="7"   class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio"   id="radio-7" /> 5 hours</span><br />\
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="8"   class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio"   id="radio-8" /> 6 hours</span><br />\
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="9"   class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio"   id="radio-9" /> 7 hours</span><br />\
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="10" class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio"   id="radio-10" /> 8 hours</span><br />\
        <span onclick="checkClosest(this)"> <input value="12" class="inserted-radio" type="radio" name="radio_" id="radio-12" /> More than 8 hours</span><br />\

Up to value "5" it is fine, followed by names without underscores, and "12" again with.

So these radio-Buttons belong to different groups and behave independently.
