I want to underline some words in survey items. I surround the underlined words with . . . and the system does not know it’s HTML. It shows up as a literal.

Can HTML be enabled in the item writing.

Also, I have some “Other, please specifies.” I would like to require a specification when someone clicks “other.” How?

Finally — in a custom matrix — radio buttons, followed by open ended, followed by checkboxes — can I disable the checkboxes once a radio button is checked and disable the radio buttons once a checkbox is checked and require an open-ended answer if they check “other”.

Thanks.

Hi Bill,
So we don’t use a mark down language we just use straight html. So you can surround the word with and that will make it underlined.

Also if you make a question required and give it an “other” box the “other” box will also be required.

We haven’t created show/hide/disable logic for the matrix questions yet but it’s on our list of things to do.

Hope this helps!

Chad, On the screen, your reply to me says, “. . . surround the word with and that . . .”

Surround the word with what?

Thanks.

PS Can you recommend a site that has good straight HTML references? I’m having trouble finding a straightforward one. Ironic . . .

Hi there!

I believe he meant:

Here is a pretty easy and comprehensive list of tags:

THE FOLLOWING POST MUST BE READ AS IF THE ..’S ARE NOT PRESENT. WHEN THEY ARE REMOVED, THE HTML CODES DISAPPEAR FROM THE SCREEN AND THE POST IS NONSENSE.

I need to underline part of a survey item. When I use the codes as shown below (without the ..), they show up in preview mode as literals.

When I wrote the item that way, instead of an underlined phrase, I got a phrase that in preview mode looked like, “<..u..>phrase<../u..>.” The HTML showed up as a literal. It was not marked up as embedded code. Same has thing has happened when I have used <..b..><../b..> or <..center..>.

When I use

in the page introduction, however, it makes a paragraph and the ”

” does not literally show up on the screen as it does with the other codes.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Are you trying to underline items in a question title? Or a text area? If so, we have been giving you bad advise!

In those cases you need to click on the “Source” button to modify the HTML. That will let you access the HTML that’s under the WYSIWYG editor.

Sorry about the confusion!

Cheers,

-Christian
