protecting DEFAULT answer from being changed at runtime in a survey was created by kirti
Hi
Please let me know how to protect the editing the default answer of the question that is prefilled at runtime ?
I mean when the survey participant looks at the prefilled answer, he /she should not be able to edit it.

Please help
Thanks
Regards
Kirti

You may want to use an equation type question for that.

No Tony, thats not helping. I have to prefill the answer of the question "Name of the person being reviewed" where A is reviewing B so B's name is picked from Token:Attribute and that gets filled as default answer. But when I checked the short text box filled with answer, I could edit and insert another answer, which should NOT happen. That default answer should fade and should not be editable.

Then : you don't need default answer, you need "Show something to user"

If you need to register information in the DB : use Equation question type
If you need to show : {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} in the question text or help.

You can show it "like" a input text:
Code:
<input type="texte" readonly="readonly" value="{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}" />

why don't you disable the textbox ...
Code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
 
$('#answer813917X1X68').attr('disabled','true');
 
$('#answer813917X1X68').val('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}');
 
 
 
});
</script>

Disabling the input may prevent the data from being recorded. You should use .prop('readonly', true).

Thanks tpartner .... disabling the input prevent data from being recorded (i am using v 2.06+).
Code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('#answer813917X1X68').prop('readonly', true);
 $('#answer813917X1X68').val('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}');
 });
</script>

fvanderstarre above example is for "Short free text" ... it can be applied for any other question type that renders input elements

What I meant to say was: why not use question type text display? You don't have to worry about protecting from input there.
