Hi There I'm trying to randomise the answers except for the first answer of 8 answers.

I have seen the workaround for keeping the last answer static but I cant even get this to work, possibly the version I am using 1.87, in which case I really should upgrade.

Trying to work out what changes to make to the code to keep the first answer in place? put -7 after ansCount?

"/ Place the last answer created at the end of the list
$( 'input#answer' + sID + 'X' + gID + 'X' + qID + ansCount-7...etc"?

but as cant get the sample to work I am stuck any suggestions?

I have attached my question and a demo survey

Try this (replacing "QQ" with the question ID):

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
	$(document).ready(function() {
 
		// Function to allow randomization of all answers except the first one in multiple-options and list-radio questions
		function partRand(qID) { 
 
			// Find the survey and group IDs
			if($( 'input#fieldnames' ).length != 0) {
				var fieldNames = $( 'input#fieldnames' ).attr('value');
				var tmp = fieldNames.split('X');
				var sID = tmp[0];
				var gID = tmp[1];
			}
 
			// Place the first answer created at the beginning of the list
			$('input#answer' + sID + 'X' + gID + 'X' + qID + 1 + '' ).parent().prependTo($( '#question' + qID + ' td.answer ul' ));
 
		}
 
		// Call the function with the question ID
		partRand(QQ);
 
	});
 
</script>

Cheers,
Tony

Ok I realized I also need another tweak

in another question with 13 answers i need to keep the first two answers and the last answer static and also retain the 'other' option at the very end.

I edited the code just by adding another couple of lines see attached which sort of worked however I'm not sure how to make 'other' option show up last.

any suggestions?

tpartner NOW ONLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 2864 Thank you received: 425 Karma: 245	Try this to place the "Other" at the end of the list: $( 'input#answer' + sID + 'X' + gID + 'X' + qID + 'othercbox' ).parent().appendTo($( '#question' + qID + ' td.answer ul' ));

All of these tips are proving very helpful - thanks!

I've been unsuccessfully trying to create a randomisation for a list of 10 attributes with option 10 being a "none of the above" option. In addition to these 10 attributes I also want to include an other option.

I am trying to set up the order of the list so that the first 9 attributes are randomised, then the Other option is displayed, then None at the bottom.

At the moment I can get the randomisation working, but I can;t seem to get the None to lock at the bottom.

Any help would be much appreciated.
