You may want to tweak the styles a bit, but this should get you going.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
// Call the "sideBySide" function with number of rows and columns
sideBySide(4, 5);
});
function sideBySide(rows, columns) {
/// Display multiple questions side by side///
if ($('div.qRow1').length == 0) {
var rowNum = 0;
var colNum = 1;
var rowList = new Array();
//////// Add question classes for later use ////////
// Loop through all questions and add row and column specific classes
$('div[id^="question"]').each(function(i) {
if(rowNum <= rows) { // This IF condition only needed if there are questions following the "inline" questions
$(this).addClass('qRow'+rowNum+'').addClass('qCol'+colNum+'').addClass('inlineQuestion');
if(rowNum == 0 && colNum > 1) {
$(this).addClass('columnLabel');
}
if(rowNum > 0 && colNum == 1) {
$(this).addClass('rowLabel');
}
else if(rowNum > 0 && colNum > 1) {
$(this).addClass('questionCell');
}
if(colNum == columns) {
rowList.push('qRow'+rowNum+'');
rowNum++;
colNum = 1;
}
else {
colNum++;
}
}
else {
$(this).addClass('normalQuestion');
}
});
//////// Survey layout manipulation ////////
// Fix the width of the survey
$('table.container').css({
'width': '900px'
});
// Wrap each "row" in a wrapper div
$(rowList).each(function(i) {
$('.'+this+'').wrapAll('<div id="inlineWrapper'+i+'" class="inlineRow" />');
});
// Style the wrapper divs
$('.inlineRow').css({
'width': '850px',
'margin': '0 auto 0 auto',
'clear': 'both'
});
$( '.inlineRow:first' ).css({
'margin-top': '10px'
});
// Get all the questions to sit politely side by side
$( '.inlineQuestion' ).css({
'float': 'left',
'overflow':'hidden',
'margin-bottom': '-1px'
});
$( '.inlineQuestion div.question' ).css({
'padding':'0',

'margin': '0',
'border': '0 none',

});
$( '.inlineQuestion .questionhelp' ).hide();
$( '.inlineQuestion .survey-question-help' ).hide();
// A little space under the last row
$( '.inlineRow:last .inlineQuestion' ).css({
'margin-bottom': '10px'
});
// Any questions not displayed inline (this is only needed if there are questions following the "inline" questions)
$( '.normalQuestion' ).css({
'clear': 'both'
});
//////// Column manipulation ////////
// Set the column widths - can be set individually if necessary
// Must add up to less than 100%
$( '.qCol1' ).css({
'width': '12%'
});
$( '.qCol2, .qCol3, .qCol4, .qCol5' ).css({
'width': '22%'
});
//////// Question manipulation ////////
// Hide the answer element in boilerplate questions
$( 'div.boilerplate .answers' ).hide();
// Hide the question text elements in non-boilerplate questions
$('div.questionCell .questiontext').hide();
// Push the question tables to 100%
$( 'div.inlineRow table' ).css({
'width': '100%'
});
// Get everything to line up nicely vertically
$( '.inlineQuestion .questiontext, .inlineQuestion .answers p' ).css({
'text-align': 'center'
});
// Adjust cell heights so everything lines up nicely horizontally
$( '.inlineQuestion .answers, .inlineQuestion .questiontext' ).css({
'height':'35px',
'overflow':'hidden',
'padding':'0.5em'
});
//$( '#inlineWrapper0 .inlineQuestion' ).css({'height':'50px'});
$( '#inlineWrapper0 .questiontext' ).css({
'height':'50px'
});
// Yes-no question styles
$( 'div.yes-no ul' ).css({
'text-align': 'center',
'font-size': '90%',
'margin': '0',
'padding-bottom': '5px'
});
$( 'div.yes-no li' ).css({
'padding-right': '1.5em'
});
$( 'div.yes-no .answers' ).css({
'padding-bottom': '0'
});
// Short-text question styles
$( 'div.text-short input' ).css({
'width': '125px',
'margin-left': '0'
});
// Numeric question styles
$( 'div.numeric input' ).css({
'width': '125px',
'margin-left': '0'
});
$( 'div.numeric p.tip' ).css({
'display': 'none'
});
// Get rid of the margins around select boxes
$( 'p.question' ).css({'margin':'0'});
}
}
