Hi

I am using multiple short text to collect personal information

One of my options is 'State'

is there a way i can use a pulldown list of states for within multiple short text?

The URL is: 38194X3X115SQ008

Please advice

Rather than using multiple short text, why not create a list drop-down and populate it with the states label set?

And for a input:text, you have a workaround:
docs.limesurvey.org/Workarounds%3A+Manip...wers_for_text_inputs

well multiple short text allow me to have the text field next to the text
while the other options have the text field below

Can i use the workaround for 38194X3X115SQ008 ?

Please have a look at the workaround linked above.

the demo shows i have to use 'ID'....if i am using multiple short text and state has as code 'state' i can use the same code?

Please advice

mirador, please install Firefox add-on "Firebug". It gives you the HTML ID for each field of a survey when clicking on it and should help you much.

hi

i get this error from google chrome

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

is it because my states field is part of a multiple short text?

This is the code
<input class="text " type="text" size="20" name="38194X3X115state" id="answer38194X3X115state" value="" onkeyup="noop_checkconditions(this.value, this.name, this.type);" maxlength="255">

the code for the multiple short question is
<div id="question115" class="multiple-short-txt">

and this is what i used on startgroup.pstpl

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

$(document).ready(function() {

var q1ID = answer38194X3X115state;

var states = "Alabama,Alaska,Arizona,Arkansas,California,Colorado,Connecticut,Delaware,
District of Columbia,Florida,Georgia,Hawaii,Idaho,Illinois,Indiana,Iowa,Kansas,Kentucky,
Louisiana,Maine,Montana,Nebraska,Nevada,New Hampshire,New Jersey,New Mexico,New York,
North Carolina,North Dakota,Ohio,Oklahoma,Oregon,Maryland,Massachusetts,Michigan,
Minnesota,Mississippi,Missouri,Pennsylvania,Rhode Island,South Carolina,South Dakota,
Tennessee,Texas,Utah,Vermont,Virginia,Washington,West Virginia,Wisconsin,Wyoming".split(',');

$('#question'+q1ID+' input.text').autocomplete(states, {
matchContains: true,
minChars: 0
});

});
</script>

var q1ID = 115;
