when using matrix questions, it would be very helpful if the rows were alternate shades, making it easier to follow across each row. I know you told me how to do this in the CSS, but I was wondering if this is a feature you have added ( since I didn’t find it quite as easy as it looked:-)
If you have - where do i find it? how do i apply it?
thanks
donna
PS - that bulk edit feature is super - I was re-jigging my survey and what a time saver! awesome!
thanks for it.

I look up your instructions from the November forum and tried them to make the marix questions have alternate rows different colurs or shades - but I can’t make it work at all. I need something to assist my participants keep on the right line. HELP!

Hi Donna,

I’m a survey user who also needs shaded matrix tables. In edit survey –> look & feel –> CSS template, I replaced the table TR code with the following, and it worked perfectly:

table.sg_Table tr.sg_TR { }
table.sg_Table tr.sg_TR_Alt {
background-color:#CFCFCF !important;
}
.sg_TR_Alt .sg_TD1 {
background-color:#CFCFCF !important;
}

It really does make a nice difference in the table display. Have fun!

Hi Connie and Donna,
Yup, that’s a perfect solution Connie. We have that code in some of our older templates, but fell through the cracks in our newer templates. We’ll be fixing that in the next update of the templates.

When it’s fixed you’ll need to re-apply the template to your surveys for the new styles to appear.

Hope this helps,
Chad

Possible to apply the way matrix questions are reported to radio button questions? right now they’re reported as pie charts and it’s confusing if only 2 of the five choices are chosen.

Thanks Connie and Chad - I did it and it worked! amazing and fun :-) Now one more thing - how can I get the alternate row shading to cover all columns in a double matrix? like a two in one question - the first set of columns is shaded in the colour I chose, but the second set is all light grey?

Jon –

Not yet, but we are coding our fingers off on the new reporting features I just mentioned on another of your posts.

Donna –

Sure can, you just need to tell surveygizmo to stop shading them by adding these lines to the bottom of your CSS.

.sg_Group1 {background:none;}
.sg_Group2 {background:none;}
.sg_Group3 {background:none;}
.sg_Group4 {background:none;}

Cheers,

-Christian
