Hi,

I have some numeric fields (different questions) on a page.
If the total equals 100 then they can go to the following page, otherwise they have to change the values.

So I created a javascript:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> 
$(document).ready(function(){ 
	$('form#limesurvey').submit(function(){ 
		if({INSERTANS:7371X1505X1865}+{INSERTANS:7371X1505X1866}+{INSERTANS:7371X1505X1867}==100) {
		return=true;
		}
		else
		{
			return=false;
		}
	)};
)};
</script>

But it doesnt work.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Where do i have to put this?
In one of the questions? or on the page?

You cannot use {INSERTANS} for questions on the current page.

You will need to use something like the following, where "11", "22", and "33" are your question IDs.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
	$(document).ready(function(){ 
 
		$('form#limesurvey').submit(function(){
 
			var q1ID = 11;
			var q2ID = 22;
			var q2ID = 33;
 
			var q1Answer = $('#question'+q1ID+' input.text').val();
			var q2Answer = $('#question'+q2ID+' input.text').val();
			var q3Answer = $('#question'+q3ID+' input.text').val();
 
			if(Number(q1Answer) + Number(q2Answer) + Number(q3Answer) == 100) {
				return=true;
			}
			else {
				return=false;
			}
		)};
	)};
 
</script>

Cheers,
Tony

tpartner OFFLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 2858 Thank you received: 424 Karma: 244	Have you set up your survey to use JavaScript? Can you get a simple alert to work? Try alerting the value of (q1Answer) + Number(q2Answer) + Number(q3Answer) to make sure it's correct. Are there any JavaScript errors in the log?

When i do that away and only work with "$('form#limesurvey').submit(function(){", i have the same problem. An alert alone is no problem. PS the question types that i use are numeric fields.

I found a couple of syntax errors - try this:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
	$(document).ready(function(){ 
 
		$('form#limesurvey').submit(function(){
 
			var q1ID = 11;
			var q2ID = 22;
			var q2ID = 33;
 
			var q1Answer = $('#question'+q1ID+' input.text').val();
			var q2Answer = $('#question'+q2ID+' input.text').val();
			var q3Answer = $('#question'+q3ID+' input.text').val();
 
			if(Number(q1Answer) + Number(q2Answer) + Number(q3Answer) == 100) {
				return true;
			}
			else {
				return false;
			}
		});
	});
 
</script>

Cheers,
Tony

Oops, I'm only half-awake today - found another syntax typo. Try this:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
	$(document).ready(function(){ 
 
		$('form#limesurvey').submit(function(){
 
			var q1ID = 11;
			var q2ID = 22;
			var q3ID = 33;
 
			var q1Answer = $('#question'+q1ID+' input.text').val();
			var q2Answer = $('#question'+q2ID+' input.text').val();
			var q3Answer = $('#question'+q3ID+' input.text').val();
 
			if(Number(q1Answer) + Number(q2Answer) + Number(q3Answer) == 100) {
				return true;
			}
			else {
				return false;
			}
		});
	});
 
</script>

Do you convert a string to int with "Number()" in javascript?

Yes.

steven8000 OFFLINE Fresh Lemon Posts: 16 Karma: 0	thanks, this works. How does it work when you use a "multiple numeric input" question?
