Dunno why that's being truncated but you should be able to replace all of those lines with a simple loop.

Replace all of the lines like this:
Code:
$('#question174 .answer_cell_003 option[value=6]').text('').hide();


With this block:
Code:
$('#question174 .answer_cell_003 option').each(function(i){
  if($(this).val() > 5) {
    $(this).remove();
  }
});

Thanks Tony! It worked for this example.

I need to create a similar question listing US universities (n=3492)...my javascript has 3983 lines. The problem is that when I paste it in the question source, it gets truncated around line 695.

is there a way to solve this?

Try removing the script from the question source and place it at the end of template.js

Remove the opening script tag:
Code:
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">
And the closing script tag:
Code:
</script>

OK...now a twist to my question

I've used the array number question type to create dropdown lists in each column...but what about for only one column?

For another question, I'd like to have participants enter their own text in the first three columns of an array text, but create a dropdown list for the 4 column.

how can I do this?

cheers,

ricardo

You should be able to use a variation of this - www.limesurvey.org/en/forum/can-i-do-thi...-text?start=10#95279

Can you attach a sample survey containing only that question?

Thanks, Tony.

Yes, the workaround you mention worked smoothly for the multiple short text question. I hope this can be implemented on the array (texts) question.

Attached is the file. As I mentioned, I'd like to have the 4th column display a drop-down list.

Here you go.

If your sub-question code for the fourth column is "4", then this script will insert the dropdowns:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() {
 
    var qID = {QID};
 
    // Define the select element (dropdown)
    var select1 = '<select class="insertedSelect"> \
              <option value="">-- Please Choose --</option> \
              <option value="Program 1">Program 1</option> \
              <option value="Program 2">Program 2</option> \
              <option value="Program 3">Program 3</option> \
              <option value="Program 4">Program 4</option> \
            </select>';
 
    // Hide the text inputs
    $('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004 input[type="text"]').hide().parent().hide();
 
    // Insert the select elements
    $('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004').append(select1);
 
    // Initially select an option if the question has already been answered
    $('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004 input[type="text"]').each(function(i){
      if($(this).val()) {
        $(this).closest('td').find('.insertedSelect').val($(this).val());
      }
    });
 
    // Listener on the dropdowns - insert selected values into hidden text input
    $('.insertedSelect').change(function() {
      $(this).closest('td').find('input[type="text"]').val($(this).val());
    });
  });
</script>

I've inserted that script in the source of the question in this attached sample survey.

// Hide the text inputs
$('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004 input[type="text"]').hide().parent().hide();

// Insert the select elements
$('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004').append(select1);

$('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004 input[type="text"]').each(function(i){
if($(this).val()) {
$(this).closest('td').find('.insertedSelect').val($(this).val());
}
});

// Listener on the dropdowns - insert selected values into hidden text input
$('.insertedSelect').change(function() {
$(this).closest('td').find('input[type="text"]').val($(this).val());
});

2.05 uses a different version of jQuery which may be causing some errors. Can you activate a test survey for us to see>

<option value="">-- Please Choose --</option> \
<option value="Nuevo">Nuevo</option> \
<option value="Reparado">Reparado</option> \
<option value="Deteriorado">Deteriorado</option> \
<option value="Inservible">Inservible</option> \
</select>';

// Hide the text inputs
$('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004 input[type="text"]').hide().parent().hide();

// Insert the select elements
$('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004').append(select1);

// Initially select an option if the question has already been answered
$('#question'+qID+' .answer_cell_004 input[type="text"]').each(function(i){
if($(this).val()) {
$(this).closest('td').find('.insertedSelect').val($(this).val());
}
});

// Listener on the dropdowns - insert selected values into hidden text input
$('.insertedSelect').change(function() {
$(this).closest('td').find('input[type="text"]').val($(this).val());
