This can also be done by editing the template.css of the template you are using. Check the CSS that is embedded at tpartner's javascript. It should be possible to extract it and assign it to either the whole question type or just a single (or several) question by using the question ID.

Yoy will need to use JavaScript to insert the extra column. I have already included rules to be added to template.css.

Doesn't the last column have any unique value we can use for some customized formatting (just guessing)?

Hallo
What would be the script if I want to add a spacer-column not before last but say between the third and the fourth column?

Try this:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
    $(document).ready(function() {
 
    var qID = QQ;
 
    // Reset column widths
    $('#question'+qID+' col').attr('width', 'auto');
 
    // Insert new column
    $('<th class="spacerCell"></th>').insertBefore('#question'+qID+' table.question thead tr th:eq(3)');
    $('#question'+qID+' table.question tbody tr').each(function(i) {
      $('td:eq(3)', this).addClass('lastCell');
    });
    $('<td class="spacerCell"></td>').insertBefore('.lastCell');
 
 
  });
 
</script>

Yes, many thanks.
I got it that far.
However, I do not understand why reset all column widths?
I want to keep the original column widths and only set the witdth of the spacer-column.
The indicated extra CSS does not seem to manage it.

You cannot keep the original widths if adding a column. The original widths are in percentages and add to 100 so adding a column wrecks that.

The posted CSS will manage the widths if you reset them.

Did anyone recently test if this JavaScript works fine at the latest Limesurvey 2.05 version?

Is it cross-template compatible/does it work fine with the default template?

I tried to use this JavaScript in combination with LimeSurvey 2.05+ but it did not work :(. Of course, it is also possible that I've made a mistake.

I have just tested in 2.05 without a problem.

mafo, what template are you using? Do you have any JavaScript errors?

I created a new template which is probably based on the default template!? After creating the new one I only changed the things you mentioned (in template.css).
I don't get a JavaScript error but JavaScript should work since I already successfully used another script which partially randomizes answers ( manual.limesurvey.org/Workarounds:_Manip...rs_-_Array_questions ).
Do I have to use another template?
Thank you for your help!

Can you provide a link to a live test survey?
