Hello -
Is there a way to prevent users from copying and pasting values into Short Free Text, Numerical Input and DatePicker questions?

Thanks..

Not tested,

But someting like this:
$(document).ready(function()
{
    var ctrlDown = false;
    var ctrlKey = 17, vKey = 86, cKey = 67;
 
    $(document).keydown(function(e)
    {
        if (e.keyCode == ctrlKey) ctrlDown = true;
    }).keyup(function(e)
    {
        if (e.keyCode == ctrlKey) ctrlDown = false;
    });
 
    $(":text,textarea").keydown(function(e)
    {
        if (ctrlDown && (e.keyCode == vKey || e.keyCode == cKey)) return false;
    });
})

That would annoy me like hell. A website (which a online survey is somehow), shouldn't want to play around with my browser or desktop.

First thing would be to switch of JavaScript and do it anyway.
Have a look at the manual! It is a really valuable source for information. Here some helpful links:
