Hi.
I have a simple survey and found the following behaviour to be wrong:
In a survey that allows for full navigation back/forth, it is handy to have a navigation menu (right top), showing the groups of questions there is.
If you have entered several pages of the survey and then move back and forth to validate your input, you might find it handy to open a new tab of your browser, showing the selected group (open the link in a new tab, while pointing to the navbar menu item). But: This clears all input of all items in the landing page - at least when it is the same page that is open already (or a page that someone else has opened at the same time)!
The tricky thing is that navigating with Next/Back-Buttons and opening new survey instances using the same token, Limesurvey recognizes this and takes care of the data in each page. So I think, the navigation-link behaviour is a bug. What do you think?
Furthermore, can anybody give me a hint where to find the code for this behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

The menu must not be used in a new page : there are an submit action done in javascript.

With a open in a new tab: you disable this action.

You're right : this must be a JS only link. We must remove the link

Hi. Thank you for your reply. Can you point us to the source that needs to be changed? We need to urgently correct the behaviour.

Try to remove the href here :
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/97..._index_menu.twig#L56

I changed the corresponding line to <a href="#0"> as proposed and this works. It is now not possible any more to use the context-menu to jump to a certain page and opening a new tab at the same time.
During testing, though, I got to the impression that any MOVE-command deletes contents in the page that issues the move-command.
Imagine a contents-page in the survey where you may jump to other groups:
<a href=" surveyhost.com/index.php/723728/lang/de/token/{TOKEN}/move/1 ">Inhaltsverzeichnis

<a href=" surveyhost.com/index.php/723728/lang/de/token/{TOKEN}/move/2 ">Gruppe 1

<a href=" surveyhost.com/index.php/723728/lang/de/token/{TOKEN}/move/3 ">Gruppe 2

<a href=" surveyhost.com/index.php/723728/lang/de/token/{TOKEN}/move/4 ">Gruppe 3

If you put a comment-field in the same page and click on one of the move-URLs, the comment-text is deleted.
This is a bug as well, insn't it?

No : you can not submit a form clicking on a link.
Disable javascript : you see the buttons (inside the form)

Why you don't directly remove href ?

Sorry, but I don't understand your posting.

I want to present a possibility to survey-users to jump to groups of a survey from a table-of-contents. For this, I use href-URLs like shown. You propose buttons?
I cannot remot hrefs since I have no other possibility to jump inside the survey to other groups.

I don`t want to submit anything! I can live with the fact that in case someone didn't use the <next>-button to save the contents, this is gone. BUT here, the contents is deleted (a submit/clear is done).

Please remember that I am no programmer/database/php/-expert, I am a dumb user to Limesurvey.

OK,

I check you're right : there are another issue : i update the mantis issue after.

In theorie : you can open a link on another tab without submitting current data, but without loose data already submit.

But seems in some case : you loose data already submited , and : data on current step are not submited.

It's an issue hard to fix because due to browser and session behaviour and our step behaviour inside our session system.

I think there are no way to fix it directly … if you want to show question on another tab : create some HTML page maybe ?

Esle about the remove href :

replace <a href='{{ indexItem.url }}' data-limesurvey-submit='{{ indexItem.submit }}' class='aminate'>
by
<a data-limesurvey-submit='{{ indexItem.submit }}' class='animate'>

=> remove href : it's not mandatry in HTML

Removing href works fine. Thanks.

Removing href in the index helps.
But there is no solution yet for Links for jumping to groups and removal of data.

<button type="submit" name="move" value="2"  >Test</button>

But : it's in same tab.
 

The button works! I can jump to any page in the same survey without deleting contents! Thanks very much!

In case I want to jump to another survey, I used the ?move - command, using the survey-id to jump to. How to do that using a button?! Can you advise on that?
