Hi everyone,
I have a question with 5 categories.

1
2
3
8
9

I want that only the first three categories to move randomly, and 8 and 8 keep fixed. I was trying to do it with:

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){

$( 'input#answer25996X70X3749' ).parent().appendTo($( '#questionQQ td.answer ul' ));
});

</script>

But, it doesn't work. Even for the last choice (9).
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

I would do the same thing of sdaza and the workaround suggested by tpartner it should be fit that, but I cannot make it work.

Actually I had a list radio question displayed in columns, so I thought that was the problem.
So I made a classic list radio question, just to try, but I get thesame outcome, that is I get the random order for all the answers.

This is what I did:

$filterxsshtml OFF
Option 'Other' NO
Random answer order YES
Sequential code for the answers (1, 2, ...)
The answer to keep at the end has the higher sequential code
This script code in the source of the question

File Attachment:

File Name: onloadcode.txt
File Size: 1 KB

I've check the source of the demo survey of tpartner and I see, that in the head it call a js script with the same function and at the end of the source I found this script

// Call the Custom_On_Load function defined in the first question of the survey
// Only call if it's defined
if(typeof Custom_On_Load == 'function'){
Custom_On_Load();
}

You don't need to worry about the Custom_On_Load stuff anymore,

The script you found in the <head> is just a remote script for testing - it's commented out.

Use the script from the workaround:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
	$(document).ready(function() {
 
		// Function to allow randomization of all answers except the last one in Multiple options and List/radio questions
		function partRand(sID, gID, qID) { 
 
			// Find the number of answers
			var ansCount = ''
			$( 'div#question' + qID + ' td.answer li' ).each(function(i) {
				ansCount = (i + 1);
			});
 
			// Place the last answer created at the end of the list
			$( 'input#answer' + sID + 'X' + gID + 'X' + qID + ansCount + '' ).parent().appendTo($( '#question' + qID + ' td.answer ul' ));
 
		}
 
		// Call the function with the SID, GID and QID
		partRand(SSSSS, GG, QQ);
 
	});
 
</script>

Cheers,
Tony

It still not work to me. I think I found the problem though.

I created a new survey, I just put the script in the question source and it worked. It's not even necessary to set the "show no answer" option, if the question is mandatory.

Then I tried to display the answers in columns but it's a mess. I tried to switch ul with li in the script, but it would be great if it were so simple.
Any chance to get a workaround for that?

Anyway it didn't work on my former survey because the template. For example it works with the default, but it doesn't with the bluengrey

I activated two surveys. They are the same except the template and the sID x gID x qID in the scripts.

(default) www.unipisurvey.org/lime9797/index.php?s...73&newtest=Y&lang=en
(bluengrey) www.unipisurvey.org/lime9797/index.php?s...33&newtest=Y&lang=en

The first one with the default template works fine.
The second one with the bluengrey template does not.

I added a second question with the column display. It would be great get the partially randomized function in that case too.
