In general this will be far more difficult for array questions because you need to count the number of items and based on that, auto-redirect once each item was assigned an answer.

In this case, since you only seem to list one item, this may work with some code adjustments.
Maybe Tony can help if you provide a link to an activated sample survey with that question only.

This should work for radio arrays:

Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
 
  $('tr.radio-list input.radio').bind('click', function () {      
    var thisArray = $(this).closest('table');
    if($('input.radio:checked', thisArray).length == $('tr.radio-list', thisArray).length) {
      $("#movenextbtn,#movesubmitbtn").delay(300).click();
    }
  });
});
Cheers,

Is there a way to get this to work on just a single group of questions (instead of using it in the template.js)? I have a series of radio type questions in a single group that I want the user to be able to automatically advance to next question?

Whereas, I have other parts of the survey with radios that I do NOT want this behavior to apply.

Thanks.

To trigger Next/Submit in individual list-radio questions, add this to the question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#question{QID} input[type="radio"]').on('click', function(){
      $('#movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').delay(300).click();
    });
  });
</script>

This is what i am currently using for auto next. Its not perfect but it works. You may have to modify to allow for special situations.

I only allow the auto next if the page loads without any answered radios to allow for them to change their answers without moving next. I also don't want to allow auto next if there are checkboxes or textareas visible after a radio change to allow for relevance to show new questions. It also doesn't forward if you select an other-item on a radio question. Works for radio arrays and basic radios or both mixed.

Just call this on document ready and it should be pretty set it & forget it unless you run into a scenario missing.
Code:
function autoForward() {
    var timeOut = '';
    if($('.radio').length > 0 &amp;&amp; $('.radio:checked').length === 0) {
 
        var totalQuestions = $('div.list-radio:visible').length + $('tr.radio-list:visible').length;
 
        $('.radio').on('change', function () {
            clearTimeout(timeOut);
            if ($('.radio:checked').length === totalQuestions &amp;&amp; 
                !$(this).closest('.answer-item').hasClass('other-item') &amp;&amp; 
                $('textarea:visible').length === 0 &amp;&amp; 
                $('.checkbox:visible').length === 0) {
 
                timeOut = setTimeout(function () {              
                    $('#movenextbtn').click();
                }, 500);
 
            }
        });
    }
}

This is works great. My last question is is there a way to make the recording of responses faster. Right now, there is a slight delay after the user gives an answer and it advances to the next question.

I am trying to mimic the behavior on this survey: hexaco.org/questionnaire_choose_version (click "Start Questionnaire"). As you give your response to each question, it advances to the next question with no delay.

I am thinking this might be along the lines of AJAX, but I really have no idea.

Thank you again.

You can adjust the delay on the timeout function (right now its 500) for a faster submit.

You wont get that kind of experience with a page by page survey though since the form is submitting and the page reloading every time. Their survey has all of their questions loaded on one page but they only show them to you one at a time. When you answer one of their questions, they hide that one and show the next.

Thank you. So I guess that was my question - there's no way to implement this behavior in Limesurvey?

No, its pretty easy to make something that's acts like this but it wont have the ajax responses table update. The answers wont be saved until they answer the final question and submit the survey. Will there just be radio and radio-array questions in this survey?

Yes, that's it. Only (List) radio questions. Each question will have the same set of 5 possible answers.

Try calling the script below. In order for this to work, all of your radio questions must be in the same group and all on the same page. Ex. Survey in group by group with 1 group that contains all of your radio questions set to mandatory.
Code:
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.mandatory').not('.mandatory:eq(0)').hide();
        var questionTotal = $('.mandatory').length,
            answeredTotal = 0;
        $('.radio').on('change',function() {
            var visibleQ = $('.mandatory:visible');          
            if(visibleQ.find('.radio:checked').length > 0) {
                answeredTotal++;
                visibleQ.hide().next('.mandatory').show();
            }
            if(questionTotal === answeredTotal) {
               $('#movesubmitbtn').click();
            }
        });
    });
