Sorry guys! Our server is internally accessible only. I've contacted the IT administrator to make it public, will let you know when its accessible.

Also, the plus and minus buttons mysteriously appeared. However they do not bring up new array text fields.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

The survey should now be public so you can check it out. (May take 10 mins as of this email)

Thanks!

Another more basic approach is the use of a multiple-opt (not mandatory) question with just one option "Add another product" with the related checkbox (check/uncheck)
Remember that you can style this question with CSS and/or javascript
Try-it, pasting the following code in the help area of the question....
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
            $( "<style type='text/css'>"
            + "#question{QID} { border:none; font-size:120%}"
            +"</style>").appendTo( "head" );
    });
</script>

Though there are no JavaScript errors the structure of your survey HTML seems to differ so the JavaScript can't access the needed elements.

Check the JS and compare the elements it deals with step by step. I assume due to different HTML elements the script doesn't trigger the correct elements.

Tpartners solutions are usually based on the default template I think, so any other template might not work directly out of the box and would need to be adapted.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Just tried to see if I could pick out any issues with the HTML vs the JS, but struggling. Javascript is not my best skill unfortunately!

DOwen, the linked survey is not accessible. Can you please attach a sample exported .lss file containing only your array question and the associated JavaScript and an exported zip of your template?

I am just returning from vacation so won't have a lot of free time for the next few days but I'll try to have a quick look.

Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hi tpartner, thanks for this!

I had just temporarily taken down the survey but its back up again now. The questions haven't been edited much, just want to make sure the functionality we need works first.

I appreciate you taking time to take a look, thanks!

Hmm, that workaround is outdated. Can you please attach a sample exported .lss file containing only your array question and the associated JavaScript?

Hey tpartner, I've uploaded a LSQ file, is this OK? Is there a particular method to follow to send you what you require?

Thanks!

Here is an updated script to apply the expandable array workaround to an array-texts type question in LS 2.06. (You will find this script in the source of the array question in the attached survey below.)

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
  $(document).ready(function(){
    variableLengthTextArray({QID});
  })
 
  function variableLengthTextArray(qID) {  
 
    var thisQuestion = $('#question'+qID);
    thisQuestion.addClass('variable-length-text-array');
 
    // Insert some styles
    $('<style type="text/css">\
      .hidden {\
        display: none !important;\
        visibility: hidden !important;\
      }\
      .expandable-control:disabled {\
      opacity: 0.3;\
      }\
    </style>').appendTo('head');
 
    // Insert the controls
    $('table.subquestions-list', thisQuestion).after('<div class="expandable-controls-wrapper">\
                              <button type="button" class="expandable-control remove">-</button>\
                              <button type="button" class="expandable-control add">+</button>\
                            </div>');
 
    // Click events
    $('.expandable-control.add', thisQuestion).click(function (event) {
      $('tr.subquestion-list.hidden:first', thisQuestion).removeClass('hidden').addClass('shown');
      handleArrayControls();
      $('.expandable-control', thisQuestion).blur();
    });
    $('.expandable-control.remove', thisQuestion).click(function (event) {
      $('tr.subquestion-list.shown:last', thisQuestion).removeClass('shown').addClass('hidden');
      clearRows();
      handleArrayControls();
      $('.expandable-control', thisQuestion).blur();
    });
 
    function handleArrayControls() {
      $('.expandable-control.remove', thisQuestion).prop('disabled', true);
      if($('tr.subquestion-list:visible', thisQuestion).length > 1) {
        $('.expandable-control.remove', thisQuestion).prop('disabled', false);
      }
      $('.expandable-control.add', thisQuestion).prop('disabled', false);
      if($('tr.subquestion-list:visible', thisQuestion).length == $('tr.subquestion-list', thisQuestion).length) {
        $('.expandable-control.add', thisQuestion).prop('disabled', true);
      }
    }
 
    function clearRows() {
      $('tr.subquestion-list.hidden input:text', thisQuestion).val('');
    }
 
    // Initially shown rows
    $('tr.subquestion-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion).addClass('shown');
    $('tr.subquestion-list:gt(0)', thisQuestion).addClass('hidden');
    $('tr.subquestion-list input:text', thisQuestion).filter(function () {return !!this.value;}).closest('tr.subquestion-list').addClass('answered-row');
    var thisQTable = $('table.subquestions-list', thisQuestion);
    var thisQRows = $('.answered-row', thisQuestion);
    var lastAnsweredRow = $('.answered-row:last', thisQuestion);
    var lastAnsweredIndex = $('tr.subquestion-list', thisQTable).index(lastAnsweredRow);
    $('tr.subquestion-list:lt('+(lastAnsweredIndex+1)+')', thisQuestion).removeClass('hidden').addClass('shown');
    handleArrayControls();
  }
</script>
