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

Hello,

I have an array question with answers in dropdown boxes...I've been using the following code but it has stopped working. The column where the dropdown boxes shoud appear are now empty...see picture below





<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="Yes">Yes</option> \
<option value="No">No</option> \
<option value="Unsure">Unsure</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>Enter the following information about your course(s):

What has changed on your installation.

Do you get any JavaScript errors?


.

the only thing that has changed is that I updated my installation...I'm now using 2.05+ (140520)

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

Hi guys,

I'm coming back to this issiue. I want to create a with answers in dropdown boxes...I'm using the Tony's code. The problem is that the column doesn't show up...just an empty space. This is a link to an example...

ayura.udea.edu.co/limesurvey/index.php/561473/lang-es

this is the code I'm using

Disponibilidad y estado actual de la infraestructura del nivel preescolar
<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="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());
});
});
</script>

Ah, in pre-2.05 versions the text inputs were placed inside the labels, which was poorly formed HTML. Now they are siblings of the labels.

Change this line:
To this:
So, the complete code:

I'm not sure you have correct jQuery selectors. If, for example, you have x-scale subquestion codes X1 and X2, the code should look like this (no need to replace {QID}):

Hi,

Actually for such solution : you have a plugin : www.limesurvey.org/forum/plugins/104019-...ith-dropdwon-or-mask

It work on a 2.50 last time i tested.
