Hi all,

i would like to let some questions appearing in an array. The workaround in the Manual is very good but the Javascript-code doesn't set it up in the way i want it. Then the code is taking in all the next following questions in the change, while i just want to put only 2 or 3 questions in the same array. Is there a way to modify the code, so that it would take only a specific number of questions and not influence the following ones? Thanks.

Using LS Version 2.06+ Build 151018

From what I read in the explanation of the workaround you can adapt the columns and lines so that it takes only certain questions on the page.

Thanks holch for reply.

I tried to manipulate the code without success (despite of a quick Java Tutorial). I certainly need a hint on this.
Here is a LINK to the survey i'm working on.
For example, i just want the two first questions to be displayed in an array. And the following others normally.

Off-topic: Seeing your example, I am not even sure why you want these two questions in an array. They don't really have anything to do one with the other (e.g. the same subquestion per line). These are actually two separate questions and I personally would treat and display them as such.

It seems to me that you have called the sideBySide() function with 4 rows and 4 columns, so it will attempt to manipulate 16 questions.

If you only want 2 questions in a single row, this:
Should be something like this:
Having said that, if only a couple of questions are to be manipulated, you may be better off just aligning them side-by-side with CSS.

Hi holch,

don't worry I just wanted to show how the code is displaying the questions (without paying attention to the logic).

Thank you tpartner,

i applied everything as you recommended and it works. Here a snapshot.

I do have another question.
The next following question is looking like this - And i want questions 1 and 2 to look like above in an array.


So i simply inserted the whole code in the question "1" (it's actually the 7th question in my survey: and the result is this:


The questions "1" and "2" are joining the array above. While i want them to stay at their place. In other words, i would like to have the array above two times (or more when necessary) in the survey at different places. Because these questions will be asked very often.
How can we make that happen?

That workaround was not intended to be used more than once on a page and, if all you want to do is align various sets of two questions side-by-side, I think it may be overkill anyway.

Can you attach a small sample survey containing only that group?

Thanks tpartner,

HERE is a sample survey containing only the group but without the workaround.
HERE the same sample with the workaround like before.

To help you Tpartner will probalby need that you export a sample survey (containing only the part in question). He can't work on your survey, and it is a bit much to ask of him to rebuild the survey to help you.

Help him/us to help you.

Yes, please attach an EXPORT of a small sample survey containing only that group, not a link to an existing survey?
