Hi there,
is it possible to get a insertans in template.js

Tried this with no success..


$(document).ready(function(){

var value = {INSERTANS:81754X121X2121};

....

is this not possible? How to get an answer in template.js

Hello,

I'm not sure but I think you can't use INSERTANS in Javascript. If you want to get an answer in your Javascript method you could perhaps do it by getting the answer from the element itself/its value. You can get an element by using "$('SELEKTOR')" provided by JQuery. For example, if you want to get the answer from 81754X121X2121 you can try something likeBut I think it will depend on what question you are using or what element you try to get/access.

roB2009-

In LimeSurvey 1.92 (which should be available as a release candidate this week), you can use the new Expression Manager Javascript functions to access the values.

Say your variable is called MyVar, you could either do this:
or:
/Tom

thank you both, for your response

Hi Tom,

could you explain me the LEMval story a little bit more?

would it possible to "answer" a question from the template.js with it?

Pseudocode:

set radiobutton 1 of question xyx

Hello roB2009, I have also had trouble assigning variables with INSERTANS in Jquery. I have not had any luck with var value = LEMval('81754X121X2121');.
Have you found success?

Thank you for your feedback.

TAdams-

You can only use code this:

If you also have something like this elsewhere on the page:

or more easily (assuming that 81754X121X2121 is question q5):

Expression Manager finds all variables within curly braces, and creates JavaScript arrays with metadata about them - but only for variables "declared" via those curly braces. So, if you use LEMval('q5') without putting {q5} somewhere on the page, LEMval() will return an empty string since there will be no entry for 'q5' in those JavaScript arrays.
