Err...yes it does.

Always completely clear the browser cache and refresh when testing.

Indeed it works better that way, great!

enquetes-sante-pro.univ-grenoble-alpes.f...x.php/796664?lang=fr

I have three quick questions:
1) How to center the gauge under the text of the question (or "slider-track" I think; for the moment it is shifted to the right)?
2) How to center each portion of text ("Pas du tout d'accord" and "Tout à fait d'accord") above the gauge boundaries?
3) How to align these same portions of text in a centered way rather than "right aligned"?

In other words, having this:



A thousand thanks in advance!

…

You can hide label part and set total with to 100% for slider part



Then , i think with tpartner workaround : you are really near of needed behaviour.

Yes indeed the desired result is getting closer, thank you! :)

enquetes-sante-pro.univ-grenoble-alpes.f...x.php/796664?lang=fr

I just managed to get my hands on a live example of the ideal result I would like:

enquete.cortecs.org/index.php/816422

This is the Limesurvey version 2.72.6+171207

In fact, ideally I would like to reproduce this same result with my current version (3.15.5+181115). More than 4000 respondents have already used the question as it was designed in the first version (before our IT departments changed version without warning...). I would like to be able to use a similar design to ensure maximum reliability.

Hello,

Thanks to your advice, I succeeded! Thank you both !

Unfortunately I have just restarted my investigation and some people contact me to tell me that 1) either the sliders don't appear or 2) or the sliders can't be moved:( Moreover, these problems are not encountered by everyone.

Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Here is a live example of the latest version of the question concerned:

Huge thanks to whoever gets me out of this tricky situation…

Apparently the problem is not the added code. I just did the test with different supports and browsers: it worked everywhere except with internet explorer, both with a windows vista and with a windows 10. When I use a basic model (vanilla) without an added code, the problem persists.

The few exchanges I have with respondents who contact me to inform me of the problem seem to confirm that the problem comes from Internet Explorer.

Here is an picture showing the problematic display :

I just found this thread:

www.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issues/1...-internet-explorer-8

Does that mean that I have not any other options but to tell people to update or change their browsers?

Ideally this would work on all browsers. But honestly, Internet Explorer 8 came out in 2009 on XP and Vista.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_8

9 years is a lot in terms of internet technology. No one should be on the internet with Internet Explorer 8.

Making sure that even ancient browsers like this one are still supported would tie up valuable resources, which I don't think is worth it.

In the last year the world wide share of Internet Explorer was below 4%:
gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

This is based on ALL Internet Explorer Versions. I would assume that IE8 is probably somewhere far below 1%.

Alternative: Use a less problematic question format. The slider (together with the ranking question) is probably the most sensitive question format when it comes to function and display.

@holch, can you test in IE? I can reproduce the problem in IE10 and IE11.
Cheers,

Unfortunately, I have referred to the discussion thread below as an example, but I have the impression that the problem is beyond the scope of IE8. However, I have not yet had any feedback on the versions used by the respondents to my survey, I am currently prospecting for this information.

Yes, same problem here with IE1 on Win10, works fine in Edge (never use any of these if I don't have to).

A respondent reports a similar malfunction on a firefox quantum 64 bits (without more information about the version).

It's ok I'll file a bug report.
