Add a survey FAQ to a survey was created by cubrewer
I'd like to add a link to an FAQ that contains information about my survey in the Welcome Message text so that respondents who might have questions can open the link. I think I see how to add the link, but I don't know if LS has any support for hosting static files with the survey? Or any way I can do this through the GUI?
If not, then I know how to compose a static page of HTML but I'd like to host it on the LS server (i.e., if my surveys are hosted on survey.mydomain.com, I'd like the FAQ URL to be survey.mydomain.com/some path/faq.html; I don't know what "some path" should be).
Also, is there an easy way to create a static HTML page that has the same style as the survey? I guess I could open the survey, view source, copy the HTML, and then cut out the parts that seem survey specific. Is that the easiest way?
Thanks!

The simplest method is probably to create another "FAQ" survey consisting of one group with one text-display question for your FAQ HTML. In this "FAQ" survey, set "Show welcome screen?" to "No" and use CSS to hide the progress bar and navigation elements.
Then, in your real survey welcome message, you can link to the "FAQ" survey with target="_blank" (opens in a new tab).

Tony,
Since LS 1.92 you can show/hide the progress bar in the "presentation & navigation" tab (like for "Show welcome screen?" ) :whistle:
Benoît
EM Variables => bit.ly/1TKQyNu | EM Roadmap => bit.ly/1UTrOB4
Last Releases => 2.6x.x goo.gl/ztWfIV | 2.06/2.6.x => bit.ly/1Qv44A1
Demo Surveys => goo.gl/HuR6Xe (already included in /docs/demosurveys)

Hahaha, I love those little things that you don't notice when you use LS for such a long time. Suddenly there is a new feature, but as we have already a workaround for it, we continue to use the workaround, because we are not aware of the function being added. Happens to me all the time.
