==================
Hello,

I am creating an experiment in which the response time is very important. I am trying to measure the time and move on to the next question when the participants select their answer (single choice, list(radio)). I have seen some solutions in the forum but none of them seem to work for me. The source code shows up in the preview and the code doesn't work. I am using my university's subscription of LimeSurvey and I am not the administrator. I do not have certain options, such as anything under "Configuration". Is it possible for me to solve this using my version of LimeSurvey?

Thank you!

The source code shows up in the preview

Seems you have no rights to insert javascript.
You did not ansewer the question about the hosting of your LimeSurvey installation.
In this case the script is partly destroyed after saving the question. The rest is handled as normal text and displayed.

But better you show what you did (lss export of the relevant question) and a screenshot of the previes.

Thanks for your response! Attached is my .lss sample and a screenshot of what the preview looks like for me.

I am sorry but I do not know the host of my installation, is that my university?

As I said: No rights to insert javascript.

And "university". Most admins forbid this by setting the XSS filter to ON, 

Thank you for your answer! I will email my admin and ask him to set the XSS filter to OFF.

Thanks again!

And please keep in mind that measuring response time outside of a controlled environment is not really measuring only response time, but also internet connection, browser speed, server stability, etc. So if for your experiment response time really is key, you might rethink the idea of running this experiment over the internet.

Issues that I see:

1. People will access your experiment with different setups (computer vs. smartphone, Wifi vs Lan vs 3/4/5g connection, different OS and browser combinations) all of which can have an impact on "response time"

2. People will access your experiment at different times and you have no control on how the server behaved during this time. E.g. some might respond during a time where there is very little server load, while others will be responding during a time where a lot of other respondents are also responding. As the installation is hosted by your university, there might be several other surveys running at the same time that can also have an impact on the general server load.

This has nothing to do with Limesurvey itself, but is rather a general issue of running experiments that measure response time and are not run in a controlled environment (e.g. same time, same setup, same connection, etc).

But remember:
This is a general setting.
Either it is OFF or ON for all students.
I doubt that an admin will take the risk.

But there is an easy "workaround".
Sign up for the LimeSurvey hosted basic plan.
This is only €17/month for students. And how long will you need it to complete your survey? I think, not more than three.
