submitting an answer after click of radio button? was created by collectek
Hello,

I would like to have the person taking a survey to only click the answer (radio box list) and for that click to be submitted as their answer without them having to click "submit". How could I go about doing this?

Example: survey asks a yes or no question.... person clicks yes.... answer is submitted as if they clicked the 'submit' button.

Thank you much.

I would like to know this too, I believe this requires som sort of ajax call. Someone must have tried this in LimeSurvey before?

Do you want this for a single radio question or for all radios in a survey?

I dont know about OP (collectek), but in my case it is to be used on all radio buttons in the survey. Actually being able to do this on all fields would be awesome, to make sure that all answers are received even if the user exists prematurely.

Well, you can't do it for all question types. For example, if you apply it to a mandatory array, the respondent will never be allowed to proceed.

To have all List (radio) questions automatically click the "Next" button, add this to the end of template.js:
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
 
  $('.list-radio input[type="radio"]').click(function(event) {
    $('#movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').click();
  });
});

To have a specific List (radio) question automatically click the "Next" button, add this to the question source:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  
  $(document).ready(function() {
 
    $('#question{QID} input[type="radio"]').click(function(event) {
      $('#movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').click();
    });
  });
</script>


.
Cheers,

Thanx for the answer. But this is actually just submitting the whole page/form as I understand it.
I only want that specific answer saved (perhaps via some ajax or something), and having the rest of the page/Form available for the user to fill out.

The reason I want this, is that a lot users dont fill out all questions on the page, and never clicks the submit button. But we still want all the data they have filled out, even though they only answered i.e. 2 out of 5 questions on a page.

I hope you understand what I mean?
