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.

Hello,

Okay so I was able to make it work visually and I am SO close but the only thing that isn't working is when I move onto the next page of the survey, the responses I entered disappear. This also happens when I go back and use the previous button or even when I decide to answer the question. I have attached the survey to better explain what I mean. 

Thank you all.

Hi,
I do not see that anything disappears, when you proceed to the next page.
Data is saved in the answer table.
Everything is fine.
 



And that the radios are empty again when a respondent goes BACK to this question, well, who allows people to go back?

Okay, as said before, this is an old (an a bit unusual) script and it seems that the original thread isn't there anymore.
So you can't ask the author (as far as I remember he was Polish).
I can't help. Either you adapt it by yourself, wait for somebody here, or revise the layout.
You see, I am still wondering why you do not use built-in features like an array by column with some css ("no-question", "no-bottom") and inserted subheaders
 

Or something quite different (Sliders with or without tick marks)

And your second question (s324):
Something like GIGO (Garbage in - Garbage out).
It is obvious that you do not see anything, if there is no subquestion.
If you want to get a subquestion, but without header, you have to enter at least a blank.

And here a different approach.
It's an adaptation of the "old" 'green apple - banana' example
and more recently this
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...ckbox-into-the-table [/url]
and
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issue...ased-previous-answer [/url]

Both show how to insert radio buttons into a HTMl table.

May look like this




Without any fine tuning in styling.

And going back the values are still there
You use a simple array. and move the buttons, whereas the other script creates new buttons.
