Hi,
I have a conditionnal question that comes when a respondent has entered some value 2 questions before. I want to give the respondent the choice to go back to this question to modifiy her answer or to pursue. The simplest yea to to it is to have the previous button linked not to the immediatly previous question, but to two questions before. Can I do that with a javascript workaround?
The previous button looks like this in html:
Can I change the parameter javascript:document.limesurvey.move.value to give limesurvey a specific question ID I want the respondent to be driven to?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks.
Unfortunately, it's not working.
I'm not sure how this move.value parameter works and I haven't been able to find it in the documentation, but I'm sure that if I figure it out I'd be able to do what I want to do. How do I access the current step of the survey?
Best,
Thanks.

Enable question jumping from the setting and see how clicking on a question code jumps to to the question . May be this will help.
Other way may be showing these question on one page. This way respondent can change answer to the question(two steps before but now showing on same page) without moving back in survey.

Can you provide a simple link ?
Try to activate "Show question index / allow jumping" to incremental : then you have your script.

I assume that since you have an onclick attribute you are using LS version 2.0.
So, to modify the "Previous" button to go back 2 steps...
1) Enable the "Show question index / allow jumping" option in survey settings
2) Add this to template.js to hide all of the index stuff (this could also be done with CSS):
3) Add this to the question source where you want the "Previous" behaviour modified:
Or, perhaps a more user-friendly approach would be instead of messing with the "Previous" button, simply add a new button to the question that takes them back 2 steps. Follow steps 1 and 2 above and then add something like this to the question source:

Code:
