On this new version that script seems to not work, so i try to look for other to implement on this version of LS.

I tried the option you can see on my attached file, an option wich i found on the forum, but i cant make it work.

File Attachment:

Hi, I do not see a severe issue with your script.
Except:
a. The variable {QID} is a LimeSurvey system variable that always contains the actual questionID.
Therefore you should not change it.

b. Did you copy the script from a pdf or so?
You should not do this. There is always the chance that it contains some (hidden) HTML garbage.

c. You did not address the subquestions

Well, here the working script

Code:

<link href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" /><script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(0)').autocomplete({
      minLength: 1,
      source: ["Adalbert Ameise", "Berta Biber", "Carlo Chinchilla", "Doris Dachs", "Emil Eidechse", "Florian Flamingo", "Gabriele Gnu", "Horst Habicht"]
    });
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(1)').autocomplete({
      minLength: 1,
      source: ["Adalbert Ameise", "Berta Biber", "Carlo Chinchilla", "Doris Dachs", "Emil Eidechse", "Florian Flamingo", "Gabriele Gnu", "Horst Habicht"]
    });
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(2)').autocomplete({
      minLength: 1,
      source: ["Adalbert Ameise", "Berta Biber", "Carlo Chinchilla", "Doris Dachs", "Emil Eidechse", "Florian Flamingo", "Gabriele Gnu", "Horst Habicht"]
    });
  });
</script>

You see the "eq(x)"? Here you address the subquestion, starting with 0.

By the way: Which script did you use before? The one that on your opinion doesn't work in version 5.x.

Ok, it works without changing the ID, i suposse is a new feature since Limesurvey 2.72, on that version you have to indicate the question ID manually.

Thanks for the help.
