Hello,

I want to use different sufixes in a multiple numeric input question.

I have found two syntaxes in previous topics from this forum:

First:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');

$('input.text:eq(0)', thisQuestion).after('/day')
$('input.text:eq(1)', thisQuestion).after('/month')
$('input.text:eq(2)', thisQuestion).after('/year')
$('input.text:eq(3)', thisQuestion).after('/decade')
});
</script>

Second:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#question'+{QID}+' li.question-item:eq(0) span.input').append('per minute');
$('#question'+{QID}+' li.question-item:eq(1) span.input').append('per hour');
$('#question'+{QID}+' li.question-item:eq(2) span.input').append('per day');
});
</script>

I have been trying for days to use this syntaxes, but I failed. I might be doing something wrong, as I'm not good at all with javascript language. Can someone please tell me what exatcly I need to change in this syntaxes?

My question code is "ImmigrationTime", the subquestions code are "years" and "months", and the sufixes I want are "anos e" and "meses".

Thanks.

Just like in the other post: you might be using code for older versions. The template system has changed quite a bit with each of the last major releases, so workarounds for older versions generally don't work with newer versions anymore.

So please post which version you are using.

Thanks, holch
As I mentioned in the other post, I'm using the version 3.17.7

3.17.7+190627 ***

Hi,
if you ask for a date, your idea is the worst of all (in my opinion).
Why?
You have to validate both fields of the multiple numeric input, to avoid "1673" and "24" as month.

For a date you should either use a date question.


or you may use an array(numbers)
Here the dropdowns are restricted to your allowed values


or you may use a different datepicker (which I found, but won't recommend)



Here an example of all three options.

Thanks, Joffm,

But I'm actually asking the amount of time that the participant has spent living abroad:

"How long have you been living abroad?"

The answer would be two numeric inputs:

___ years and
___ months

I have already put validation subquestion equations for years (less than age) and also months (less than 12). I only need now the information I asked concerning how to use different sufixes.

Later on, I will make similar questions regarding the amount of time that the participant is in a relationship, etc.

A date question would also fit, but I prefer to ask for the amount of time, just like in other similar surveys I have myself participated.

Try this:

I tried, but it didn't work.
I'm not sure if I did it right:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {

// Identify this question
var thisQuestion = $('#question{ImmigrationTime}');

$('input:text:eq(years)', thisQuestion).after('anos e');
$('input:text:eq(months)', thisQuestion).after('meses');

$('input:text', thisQuestion).css({
'display': 'inline-block',
'margin-right': '0.5em'
});
});
</script>

Question code: ImmigrationTime
subquestions code: "years" and "months"
sufixes: "anos e" and "meses"

Do not change the ExpressionScript tag or the selector indexes

It worked well. Thanks very much!
But I have now a new problem. As you may see on the attached pic, the sufixes are ok, but they are under the box. Also, they anserboxes are drawn to the right. Is there a way I could have the sufixes beside the boxes and also the boxes drawn to the left?

Please refer to the manual - Label column width - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...abel_column_width.29

Thanks, tpartner!
It's just perfect now.
