I’m going to take call you offline since the question is a bit complicated, but here are a few related suggestions that might help other folks too.
Mouse-Overs with help text
Yes there are ways to accomplish mouse-over text or popups, it just depends on how fancy you need to get.
If you want a simple mouse over next to some radiobutton choices for instance there is an easy way to do that. It’s easiest to work in Notepad to put this this together then cut and paste it in. You want to create you option text with a “?” you can over over for more info like this sample question -
Who is your favorite actor?
Harrison Ford <a href=”#” title=”Stared in StarWars and Indian Jones”>?</a>
Bruce Willis <a href=”#” title=”Stared in Die Hard and 6th Sense”>?</a>
Now all you do is copy each option to the option title box (leave the reporting value ‘Harrison Ford’. Presto hover text.
If you need more sophisticated hovers that hold more info you could use what we use in our application to support our little blue question mark help texts. Take a look http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm
This could be added to your custom template.
Multiple Passes/loops through a series of questions
I can think of 3 ways to do this.
Use a Custom Group Question
Add the 8 individual questions to a Custom Group Type Question and then turn on the option to allow users to dynamically add additional groups on the fly. A perfect example of this is Jab application work history where you have several questions to ask about each postion held but no idea how many each person will have so they click ‘Add’ to get a new one.
Use Page Piping
You would ask in a how many loops were needed then place the 8 questions on a page and turn on “Pipe this Page x # of times” under the page options.
Add a link to the survey on your Thank You page
Allow a taker to start a fresh survey so they can answer it on behalf of someone else.
