Saving a Javascript variable in LimeSurvey was created by Feloux
Hello everybody,
I have a question that looks pretty simple to me but I haven't managed to find an answer.

Let's say, with source code of a question, I managed to put a Tetris game in a limesurvey question. I would love to be able to save the number of lines (which is a variable in my javascript code), but I don't know how to do it.
So my variable would be 'Lines' I would like to store as the answer of the question this precise number of lines.

Is it possible ? Would I be able to do the same if I had several variables to save ?

Thanks in advance,
Félix
PS : I'll post my code if requested, but I don't think it's relevant

If 'Lines' is a javascript variable previously defined in the page, you can use a (hidden or not) numerical question to store this value. Just paste in the source of the question:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
   jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $(".numeric:eq(0) input.text").val(Lines);
  });
</script>

Hello,
Thank you very much for your answer Benoît.
I've looked and tried a lot of different things but none of them are working. So, the idea is simply that the JS variable appears in the result of the survey ! Here I take the simplest code possible :
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var Lines = 4;
 
   jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $(".numeric:eq(0) input.text").val(Lines);
  });
</script>

It's obviously not a real question, but at the end, when we are looking at the answers we should see the value '4' right ?

But it is not working.

Thanks in advance for any help someone will give me.
Félix

Try placing this in the source of a short-text question.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> 
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    var Lines = 4;
 
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').val(Lines); 
  });
</script>
Cheers,
