How to show error message when survey is not complete was created by Maarten
Hi guys,

Anybody an idea on how to show an error message on the top of the page (maybe in the welcome message) when the user submits the survey, but not all the questions haven't been filled in (survey isn't complete)?
The survey is 10 questions on one page.

Thanks for the help.

KR,
Maarten

Technically, if the respondent is allowed to submit because the questions are not mandatory the survey is categorized as complete.

Having said that, you could use JavaScript or possibly Expression Manager to display the message. The details would depend on the question types.

Hi.

Another solution, is to add a 'display text' question : with:
Code:
{if(is_empty(Q1) or is_empty(Q2) or is_empty(Q3),"<div class='warning alert-warning'>Some answer are empty, blah blah</div>","")}
