 Hi, I would appreciate some help with javascript code forcing an answer option (like ‘None’) to be always show in the end of randomized list with multiple columns.I’ve been using this javascript code below (found on this forum) placed in ‘question text’ section – it works just fine, but only for a 1-column display.  However, for 2-column or 3-column display, this code makes ‘None’ to be shown on the page 2 or 3 times – in the end of each column.  I’m attaching the lss archive  

File Attachment:

File Name: limesurvey...3333.lss
File Size:86.48 KB
with example of 3-column and 1-column design.Could anyone help me please to adjust this code for 2-column and 3-column list, so that ‘None’ is shown just once, in the end of last column?  <script type='text/javascript'>/* Place option at the end of the randomized list */$(document).ready(function() {var move_element="C701";/* Please do NOT change the lines below */var move_element="javatbd{SGQ}"+move_element;$("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#question{QID} .answers-list .answer-item:last-child");});</script>

Hi,
here you find a working script.
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...meSurvey_version_3.x :[/url]

And don't miss this
Create a Multiple Options or List (radio) question with sequential response codes.
 
Where did you find your script. I did not find the source of it, only citations.

Hi, many thanks for referring me to the right source of workarounds. However, I still wasn’t able to fix the issue, as there are multiple pieces of code which could do the job, but none of them works properly for 3 columns.I want ‘None’ to be placed in the end of last column, but it’s randomly placed in the end of 1st or 2nd or 3rd column.   If I try to have 2 variants in the end – they are placed in the end of some random column or columns.I’ve tried these 4 variands of code -  -  Partially Randomized Answers - Multiple Options & List (radio) questions-  Partially Randomized Answers - Multiple Options & List (radio) questions (Enhanced) - LimeSurvey version 2.06,    LimeSurvey version 2.73.0,     LimeSurvey version 3.xCould you please point out or paste here the specific piece of code that you were able to use successfully in your example?  Does it work properly in every run, with None always placed in last column?   Many thanks again

You are right, the link is broken. It leads to the wrong script

Use this script in
Partially Randomized Answers - Multiple Options & List (radio) questions (Enhanced)
LimeSurvey version 3.x:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // The number of answers to be fixed at the end of the list var fixedAnswers = 1; // Set this to "true" if you want "Other" to be fixed in the last position var otherFixed = false; // Identify this question var qID = {QID}; // Find the number of answers var ansCount = $('#question'+qID+' .answer-item').length; if($('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) { ansCount = ansCount -1 } console.log(ansCount); // Place the last n answers created at the end of the list var fixedIndex = fixedAnswers - 1; for (var i=0; i<fixedAnswers; i++) { var answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]'); var answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item'); var answersList = $(answer).closest('ul'); $(answersList).append(answerItem); fixedIndex--; } // Handle "Other" if(otherFixed == true && $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) { var otherAnswer = $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]'); var otherAnswerItem = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.answer-item'); var otherAnswersList = $(otherAnswer ).closest('ul'); $(otherAnswersList).append(otherAnswerItem); } }); </script>

This code pasted above (from Partially Randomized Answers - Multiple Options & List (radio) questions (Enhanced),   LimeSurvey version 3.x)   is not working for me at all - neither for 1 column, not for 2 or 3 columns display:  the last answer 'None' appears in a totally random position in the middle of the list.      

I've also tried other variants of code in this section Partially Randomized Answers - Multiple Options & List (radio) questions (Enhanced)  - these two - LimeSurvey version 2.06 and LimeSurvey version 2.73.0.  For 1 column they work fine, but for 3 columns they fail - they put 'None' in end position in some random column (1st or 2nd or 3rd).

Send the lss export of your try.
I do not see an issue.

Sure,  here is the lss export with the suggested code, which does not seem to be working.    Thank you!

Hi,
beware that this
   // Handle "Other"
    if(otherFixed == true && $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {

is not changed to
   // Handle "Other"
    if(otherFixed == true &amp;&amp; $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
as in your sample.

And change the exclusive option to the correct value.

Joffm and tpartner - thank you both so much for your prompt response and great help!    So I now have two versions of script working correctly for this issue.
