multiple question type in array positioning was created by tixeon

I have successfully implemented the multiple question type in array, however the table sits out of alignment with the rest of the questions.

I have tried a number of things but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure I would use that workaround in this case. You don't really need an "array" here. I would simply use JavaScript or CSS to move the radio into the text question or vice-versa. There are many examples of this in previous posts.

Having said that, I question the survey design. The respondent will not be able to de-select the age radio once clicked. I would just leave the age question non-mandatory.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your reply. I have spent the last 45 minutes trying to find a post that explains how to move the radio question into the text question but have been unable to find one. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Also, I agree that it would be better to be able to set the question so that the respondent can de-select the radio button so I will change it to a multiple response question type. The age box itself is not mandatory, but I need the radio to trigger the age category list if they don't want to give their age in years (we need to ask for the year as there are a range of stakeholders who use the results, and each stakeholder needs different ranges to align with their planning, for instance one department uses 18-25 whilst another uses 30-34. The range is there is a last resort so that we at least have something).

Okay, the way that I would handle that would be:

get rid of all of the placeholder questions
switch the "I'd prefer not to say" radio question to check-box type
place relevance (conditions) on the numeric question to only show it if the check-box IS NOT checked
place relevance (conditions) on the age category question to only show it if the check-box IS checked
manipulate the text-display, numeric and check-box questions with CSS to make them appear as one

For portability, in the attached sample survey, I have used JavaScript in the source of the text-display question (Q2) to insert the CSS. You could, of course, also do this in template.css. (note that these styles are for the default template)

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    // Identify this questions    
    var qTextDisplay = $('#question{QID}');
    var qNumeric = $(qTextDisplay).nextAll('.numeric:eq(0)');
    var qCheckbox = $(qTextDisplay).nextAll('.multiple-opt:eq(0)');
    var qRadio = $(qTextDisplay).nextAll('.list-radio:eq(0)');
 
    // Text-display question styles
    $('td.answer', qTextDisplay).parent().css({
      'display': 'none'
    });
 
    // Numeric question styles
    $(qNumeric).css({
      'margin-top': '-10px'
    });
    $('td.questiontext', qNumeric).parent().css({
      'display': 'none'
    });
 
    // Checkbox question styles
    $(qCheckbox).css({
      'margin-top': '-10px'
    });
    $('td.questiontext', qCheckbox).parent().css({
      'display': 'none'
    });
  });
</script>
