Create column headers - multiple choice questions was created by greenwoodtree
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: [see right hand bottom of your LimeSurvey admin screen]
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting:
Survey theme/template:
==================
LimeSurvey Cloud   Version 6.4.11
Own server
Template - amended Fruity 23

I am trying to create headers for two columns in a multiple choice question. I followed the code suggested several years ago in the Forum to hide the answer box, but it does not appear to work for me. I want SQ009 and 10 to appear as headers for the two columns. - see advice for  forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...oice-question#211550
Any help gratefully received 
I attach my bad effort to reproduce this display.

Hi,
please, neither provide lsq nor lsg exports.
These are language sensitive and can only be imported into a survey with the same base language.
So only provide lss exports.

Sorry. My survey is bilingual and I don't seem to be able to export .lss. However, it makes me realise this is why I cannot import an lss question example into my survey. i will try to do that from a dummy monolingual survey and get back to you if I am still having a problem if I may. Thanks for help.

Actually, I cannot import .lss into a new monolingual survey either. I seem to have misunderstood something. Apologies. But how do I export/import lss files when my survey software asks for lsq?

Of course not.
Into a Survey you only can import groups or questions.
You can't import a survey into a survey.
Always remember the naming:
lsq: LimeSurveyQuestion
lsg: LimeSurvyGroup
lss: LimeSurveySurvey
lsa: LimeSurvyArchive

Many apologies! I have forgotten the basics I see. Sorry to waste your time- I do appreciate this is voluntarily given and I have benefitted in the past. (One sometimes gets too stressed and fixated on issues and forgets the basic checks.)

Hi,
there are some options:

1. Header as part of subquestion list (as your example)
Code:
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">   $(document).ready(function() {     $( '#question{QID} .question-item:eq(0)').addClass('hide-pseudo-elements').find('input.checkbox').remove();     $( '#question{QID} .question-item:eq(5)').addClass('hide-pseudo-elements').find('input.checkbox').remove();   }); </script> <style type="text/css"> .hide-pseudo-elements label::before, .hide-pseudo-elements label::after   {     display: none;   } </style>

2. With added new headers
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">     $(document).ready(function() {          var SubHeading1="<strong>Land owned/leased by you</strong>";         var SubHeading2="<strong>Adjacent land</strong>";         var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');          // Insert sub-headings         $('.checkbox-item:eq(0)', thisQuestion).before('<li class="inserted-sub-heading"><span>'+SubHeading1+'</span></li>');         $('.checkbox-item:eq(4)', thisQuestion).before('<li class="inserted-sub-heading"><span>'+SubHeading2+'</span></li>');     }); </script>

And please, do not hardcode things like SGQ-codes; use the variables
{SGQ}
{SID}
{QID}
...

Thank you so much for your help, Joffm! I really appreciate this. I will use Option 2 as I think it is exactly what I want (Option 1 i guess would require me to disable the checkbox not just hide it in case people hover over and check it). I really love working with Limesurvey and shout-out to all you volunteers for helping us non-coders.
