I have a feeling this isn't possible but thought I'd ask anyway.

I have a massive matrix of questions (a custom matrix) where ideally their response in the first 'horizontal group' determines which of the two subsequent groups is visible (only the radio buttons would disappear, not the column headings). If someone out there knows how to do this and it requires some crazy scripting, that's ok ;)

Thanks

Hi DJP,

Anything's possible with enough scripting .

Seriously though, it will take a fairly high level of javascript knowledge to do this. If would like we can build a script like this for you, just send your requirements to support and we'll take a look at them (the survey should be built already).

If you are confident enough in your javascript ability you can do this yourself and if you need a hand, just ask .

Thanks Chad,

I had a feeling that would be the response ;)

Do you know of any threads or documentation on this site that deal with a related issue? i.e. using javascript to tweak the behaviour/properties of specific controls on a page? I'd like to take a crack at it first…

Thanks!

Hi Dylan,

Since Javascript is a language of it's own we don't have any documentation on it, but I'm sure you'll find plenty of examples by seaching Google.

As far as using it on our surveys, you can add Javascript in several places. The simpliest is by going to Edit Survey->Look & Feel->This Theme's Template HTML and adding it to the bottom of the Template HTML box.

If you are using FireFox a very useful addon to find the id's of a question is FireBug. After you have FireBug installed and enabled just right click on a question and go to Inspect Element and it'll bring up that section of HTML and you'll be able to see the id of the element which you can reference in Javascript.

Hope this helps,

Chad
