Assigning default values to numerical array in subquestions was created by user41039_d

Hello,

I have a mandatory question that prompts the user to indicate the days and hours since an event, which is saved into a numerical array. I was wondering if there was anyway to set a default value of 0 to both days and hours, and if not how I could go about doing so with javascript.

Thanks!

Are you using an Array (Numbers)(Checkbox) or Array (Texts)(Numbers only) question type?

Hi,

I tried a tip/workaround find here but...
I've an array of numbers with the checkbox option.
I've added this code (found in the workaround page) :

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   $(document).ready(function() {
       // A function to pre-check a column of an array
       function checkedDefault(qID, column) {
           var checkedCol = column - 1;
           $('#question' + qID + ' table.question tbody tr').each(function(i) {
               if ($('input.checkbox[checked=true]', this).length == 0) {
                   $('input.checkbox:eq(' + checkedCol + ')', this).attr('checked', true);
               }
           });
       }
       // Call the function with a question ID and column number
       checkedDefault(165, 1);
   });
</script>

It works well but...
My question is mandatory. The values (boexe checked) do not appear to be taken into account.

Do I miss something ?
For the moment, I put my question "optional..."

Is it possible (for check boxes) to check on column for all the values in that column ?

Thanks

Function updated for 2.05...

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
	$(document).ready(function() {
		// A function to pre-check a column of an array
		function checkedDefault(qID, column) {
			var checkedCol = column - 1;
			$('#question'+qID+' tr.subquestions-list').each(function(i) {
				if ($('input.checkbox:checked', this).length == 0) {
					$('input.checkbox:eq('+checkedCol+')', this).prop('checked', true);
					$('input.checkbox:eq('+checkedCol+')', this).parent().find('input[type="hidden"]').val(1);
				}
			});
		}
		// Call the function with a question ID and column number
		checkedDefault(165, 1);
	});

</script>

And I've updated the workaround page - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...s_in_array_questions

.

Thanks tpartner.

I'll test it today.
Is it possible in the same function (I suppose a part of code between <script> </script>) to uncheck the first column (NSP in French, NA or NO ? in English ?) if one or more options are checked on the same line?

If a user save his survey to complete it at another moment, are his answers saved and not "resetted" by this script?.
I suppose we can do something like a sum of all the columns (except the column passed by the parameter) in a line and check only if the sum = 0.

I'll try this if I find a few hours. I'm a very "newbee" in JS !

In the snippet, I've replaced input.radio bu input.checkbox (in the original release)

Regards
