Hi everyone,
I've got a quick question which is probably not a big deal but is breaking my nerve.

I'm trying to implement two cascading dropdown lists (the answer options of the second depend on the answer of the first ...). I found several threads in the forum regarding this question but the simplest solution seemed the one in the LS manual:

www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M..._Javascript#Method_2

So far so good. The only problem: it doesn't work. The java script runs properly (tested with alert()) but it won't remove the answer options. Anyone has an idea why this doesn't work?

I also tried the following to test it but it didn't work eighter.

$('#answer' + '{ID.sgqa}').click(function(){
$("#jquery-select option[value='test_value']").remove();
});

Some help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance! Thanks in general for the great work of the developpers!

Hi Jonas,

I do a complet javascript file for 1.92:
demonstration.sondages.pro/upload/templa...nade/selectfilter.js

I didn't test on 2.0, but can do the trick, think it work too.

The 2 question need to be in same group
demonstration.sondages.pro/82885/lang-fr

PS: script work without update in 2.00
limesurvey.sondages.pro/survey/index/sid...85/newtest/Y/lang/fr
For 2.5:

I am not sure how long link will be up so To do the same

Add this line

Code:

var classSelectFilter = $("#question"+qID).find("select").attr('class');

Mod this line

Code:

var NewSelectElement = "<select id='"+idNewSelectFilter+"' class='"+classSelectFilter+"'><option value=''>"+$("#"+idSelectFilter+" option[value='']:first").text()+"</option></select>";

Well, well, that's all I could ever hope for, or even more.. And that in no time. Thank you very much!

Great work, keep going like this!

Non,

Je prend pas plus de 3 minutes par poste sur le forum ... et encore ...

I tested the script, works like a charm (why shouldn't it ..).

Now I have one last question: can I extend it in an easy way to a higher (for instance third) level? Meaning instead of just comparing the first character, I want to compare the first and the second:

First level: A, B, ...
Second level: A1, A2, B1, B2, ...
Third level: A1a, A1b, A2a, A2b, B1a, B1b, B2a, B2b, ...

Thanks already for your help.

Hi,

Think you can without updating the script.
But you have to use 2 times the function.

If it was Q1,Q2,Q3:

In Q2:
selectFilterByCode({QID},{Q1.qid});
and in Q3
selectFilterByCode({QID},{Q2.qid});

There are a fix for "select empry in first Question to do:
You have to add a line after line 44: If there are condition on this question.

Denis

Perfect! Thanks a lot Denis!

A quick suggestion: maybe you could replace the work around in the manual ( www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M..._Javascript#Method_2 ) with your method, since yours is a lot more sophisticated and works out of the box. That way others won't have to search the forums..

Wish you nice holidays!

Jonas

Help!
I wanted to implement this I don't understand how Denis managed to include the script just for a specific question.
His solution is so neat but does it appear only under div id = question18699 ?

Hi,

You have to put the script in question text source (or help).
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M....29_in_LimeSurvey.3F

{QID} is replaced by actual question id, then no need to update.
{Q1.qid} is replacxed by the id of Q1 question code.

Denis

Like this?

{if(QID=='894', "<script type='text/javascript' src='{TEMPLATEURL}selectfilter.js'></script><script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'>selectFilterByCode(894,895);</script>", "")}

Why put if ?

You put this in question 894 source, not elsewhere.

Looks like I am missing something.... where exactly is the 'question source'?
I did that at templates/question.pstpl
