Filter array by radio selection

Filter array by radio selection was created by jlwood
Clearly I'm doing this wrong. I'm trying to limit the number of sub-questions in an array based on a selection in a previous radio list. I've got it working as long as the filtering array is not hidden, but when I set xafServRel in the attached sample to "Always Hide" the filter stops working.

The goal is as follows:
Select "Yes" to the first item -> See second Item "How many people" -> Select appropriate radio option -> Array is presented with 1 to 6 options, depending on choice in item 2
:S

Which version/build of LimeSurvey is used?

The problem with the advanced option to hide a question is that the question is completely removed.
Years ago there where plans to offer more than one hide mode for questions.

The solution is to hide the question via Javascript or CSS.
Code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#question628').hide();
});
</script>

You add this to the question-text ( source view in the editor) and hide the question (628 is the id of the question, which needs to be modified when using the snippet elsewhere)

Thanks, I'm using v2.05 with plans to upgrade as soon as the University upgrades our version of MySQL I'll use the Javascript approach. I kept thinking there must be an option or other method I was missing, but hiding through JS won't do any real harm, just a little kludgey

Just to update jelo's post a bit...you can use the QID placeholder in the jQuery selector instead of the actual ID to make the workaround more generic.

Code:
$('#question{QID}').hide();

Nice, didn't had that on my radar. Is that possible since years? Or was that introduced in 2.05?
Thanks for bringing it up.

I think it was in 1.9x - when Thomas introduced Expression Manager.
