Is there an elegant way to keep the others fields at the bottom when applying the randomize option?

To do that, you would need to have the JS move the "Other" sub-question to the end of the array before inserting the text input.
So, for example, if your "Other" sub-question has a code of "99", something like this:
So, for example, if your "Other" sub-question has a code of "99", something like this:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function() { // Identify the questions var thisQuestion = $('#question'+{QID}+''); var nextQuestion = $(thisQuestion).nextAll('.text-short:eq(0)'); // Hide the short-text question $(nextQuestion).hide(); // Move the "Other" row to the end (in case of randomization) $('table.subquestions-list', thisQuestion).append($('tr.answers-list[id$="X'+{QID}+'99"]')); // Add a class to the "N/A" column $('table.subquestions-list thead tr th:last', thisQuestion).addClass('na-column'); $('table.subquestions-list tbody tr', thisQuestion).each(function(i) { $('td:last', this).addClass('na-column'); }); // Hide the "N/A" column $('.na-column', thisQuestion).hide(); var ansColWidth = Number($('.col-answers', thisQuestion).attr('width').replace(/%/, '')); var newColWidth = (100-ansColWidth)/($('col.odd, col.even', thisQuestion).length-1); $('col.odd, col.even', thisQuestion).attr('width', newColWidth+'%'); // Move the hidden text input into the array $('th.answertext:last', thisQuestion).append($('input[type="text"]', nextQuestion)).closest('tr').addClass('otherRow'); // Initial "N/A" radio setting if($('.otherRow input:radio:checked', thisQuestion).length == 0) { $('.otherRow .na-column input:radio', thisQuestion).trigger('click'); } // Some styling... $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).css({ 'width': '50%' }); // Handle the "Other" radios $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).on('keyup change',function(event){ event.stopPropagation(); if($.trim($(this).val()) == '') { $('.otherRow input:radio', thisQuestion).prop('checked',false); $('.otherRow .na-column input:radio', thisQuestion).click(); } else { $('.otherRow .na-column input:radio', thisQuestion).prop('checked',false); } }); }); </script>

I got a email about your post. And the last post before was 2 weeks ago.
Perhaps an issue on mailserver level.
But thanks for your post. I forgot to say "Thank you" to tpartner.
Shame on me. Have to reduce the threads I follow at the same time.

Hi all, hi tpartner,
I am struggleing with this very problem.
My matrix has 9 lines and 6 option columns (1,2,3,4,5, "I have not encountered this"). I wish to add one or two lines for user input. The question shall be mandatory.
Unfortunately, the scripts you kindly provided do not produce the extra lines with input fields. (Scripting in general works in my instance, and the additional N/A column also appears.)
I would greatly appreciate any hint about how to solve this. Unfortunately, I have no JavaScript skills.

Yes, the file you provided in post
#116839
works - three given option lines, one extra.
I could provide a screenshot of my logic file, if that helps?

Hi, I am attaching my logic file here - hoping that this helps in identifying what I did wrong. It would be super nice to get help as I need to distribute the survey as soon as possible. Thanks!

Thanks, the sample indeed helped me to adapt my survey. It almost works
Just one problem is left: As soon as I turn the question to "mandatory", the matrix changes. From the six columns I have, only five are displayed. My six columns are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, "I have not encountered this".
With the mandatory setting, only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are displayed.
I am attaching my survey below.
I would greatly appreaciate your help!!

1) Keep the mandatory setting on the question.
2) Add an "N/A" answer to the y-scale.
3) Add the following new script that will:
- Insert the "Other" input as previously
- Hide the "N/A" column
- Click the hidden "N/A" radio by default
- If text is entered in "Other", the hidden "N/A" is unchecked
- If all text is removed fromn "Other", the hidden "N/A" is checked
Now the hidden "N/A" can satisfy the mandatory requirement if nothing is entered in "Other".

Is it possible to move the text box next to the radio buttons in for example column 1?
