I’ve noticed a bug in the question numbering of questions on a page when the show/hide trigger is invoked. In my example, I have two show/hide triggers which each only trigger one question each,. Both questions are hidden at the start and are shown immediately following the trigger as well as appearing chronologically after the trigger question.

However, I notice the numbering on ALL questions on the page, actually changes once a question has been triggered for a ‘SHOW’ action on a previously hidden question.

Check out the screenshots:

AFTER: http://skitch.com/countablyinfinite/mr5p/survey-afater

Is this theme specific? I’m using the Café au lait base theme.

Hi Karen,
No, the question numbers are not Theme specific. Question numbering is a tricky business, especially when dealing with client side code like Show/Hide logic. The best tactic is to hide the question numbers for those questions that are hidden (you can do this by advanced editing the question).

This has two benefits, it gets over the hurdle of questions not re-numbering properly due to client side computers. It also makes the hidden questions look associated with the trigger question since they are un-numbered below the parent question.

Hope this helps,
Chad
