nice warnings in multiple choice was created by Lombego
Hi,

I have a simple multiple choice question with checkboxes. I want a nice error warning if someone checks more than 3 checkboxes. But the only thing I can do is an ugly JS-Error, when I submit the form.
I looked in "Demo of em_validation_sq" and the last question G2 > Test is almost what I want, except, that it is an Array question. I tried a lot of Question validation equations but nothing worked for my multiple choice question.

So: Is it possible to get that nice and instant warning for multiple choice questions?

Thanks,
Thomas

You can use something like this in the Question validation tip:
Code:
{if(count(self) > 3, 'Please check a maximum of 3 answers.', '')}

Thank you. It worked.
Just a tiniy problem in your example the text shows up as alert-danger. In my template (almost the same as default) it is alert-info (the same as the question-helptext).
