Hi,

I have a matrix type question :

(sample question)

q:Give point to mobile

1 2 3 4 5
nokia
samsung
motoroal

(1,2,3,4,5 will be on top as in matrix type question)

---

Now if the person select 1 for a mobile he should be shown next question like this:

Why do you like Nokia

Battery Looks weight Prce
nokia


How can I achieve this. One option I was thinking is add a hidded chckbox question whose option(nokia,sammsung,motorola) will be selected if option 1 from 1st question is chosen and then use array filter to show needed option in the next matrix question. Am I on the right path?

Yes, the solution you are thinking of should work fine. There should even be some examples at the forum. Search for "array filter".

Hi Mazi

Thanks for the quick reply.

Well the checkbox is filling correctly but the next question is not showing any option. Currently I have made the checkbox question as visible and I can see that options are ticked correctly.

This checkbox question id is 2.2

In the next matrix type question I am giving Array filter = 2.2(Array exclusion is empty). But next question is shown without any options.

Will it help if I attach survey exported file??


For other peoples- Javascript I used is given below:


$('form#limesurvey').submit(function(){
if(document.getElementById("answer31788X814X142411-A1"))
{
document.getElementById("answer31788X814X14257SQ001").checked=true;
}
});

You need to fire checkconditions() after checking a box in the hidden question.

Have a look at this post - www.limesurvey.org/en/forum/can-i-do-thi...g-array-subquestions - search for:

I have used the below code but still it does not seems to work. I have given the code in the hidden question

Oh, wait, sorry, you don't need that if the hidden question and second array are on different pages.

Are the answer codes for the hidden question and second array identical?

I dont know what you mean by answer code so I am attaching the survey extract.

Both matrix questions have the same option names though.
[attachment:1]limesurvey_survey_31788.lss[/attachment]

Not able to attach the file .its showing blank page.

Try adding a .txt extension before attaching - so limesurvey_survey_31788.lss.txt

By "answer code", I mean these:

Thanks mazi and tpartner for making my day.... ...


Please see page 2 for the issue on hiding question

Well I thought my problem is over but its working fine when the question is not hidden. When I hide the question using advanced setting-> always hide this question. The array filter does not seems to work.

I checked the html source and it seems the question itself is not there in the html!!

Use

var qHiddenID = 14257;
$('#question'+14257+'').hide();



where qHiddenID is your question id

to hide your question

You cannot hide questions with the advanced settings if you want to use JavaScript. You must use CSS or JavaScript to hide the question.

If you use the advanced setting, the question is never rendered on the page so cannot be manipulated with JavaScript.

In my opinion this "feature" causes too much confusion and should be dropped.

Thanks dude....

Maybe, but:
If i want to fill the survey with url and don't want user can access this answer ?
If i want to fill the survey with Session ?
If i want to fill the survey with ajax ?


Just hide the answer item with css aren't good, because user can change it.

Maybe a "activate" or "read-only" option ? ( directly in HTML, can be removed with jquery).
