Hi,

Would it be possible to display a random number in a given range? For example, if LimeSurvey is being used out in the field, I would like the ability to have it display a number between 1 and the total number of people in the area (entered by me of course) to select which person to survey.

You can use the expression Manager and the function: rand(1,100) for having a random number between 1 and 100.

Thanks! Now to figure out why it's not working with one of my templates (or can you only do expressions like this with certain types of questions?).

Did you have a look at the manual how to implement things with Expression Manager? There are some examples of code. I would say, the most obvious thing is that you can't just put the function into the source code like this, because LS doesn't know that it is an equation.

Equations in Expression Manager are usually between { and }.

Have a look at the link about Expression Manager. There are a lot of good examples.

Here is another example: www.limesurvey-consulting.com/how-to-ran...a-limesurvey-survey/

Regarding the problem with span, I guess you should have no space between "<" and "span".

The <span> element is inserted when there is an error in Expression Manager.
