Hi,

I am trying to put together my first survey, and overall it is satisfyingly straightforward. However I am running into one problem:

I have a question where I have a multiple choice box with five options. Three of these should be non-excluding, but the two final options should exclude all others. I presume I need Javascript for this and I tried the workaround for array questions but could not manage to modify this correctly. Any pointers welcome!

I am using a very slightly modified version of news_paper and LimeSurvey 2.52.

Thanks!
Jarle.

Look at "multiple exclusive options".

Thanks very much! That works - not quite in the slickest way (I would have liked to have the irrelevant options deselected, not grayed out), but it does what I need, which is sufficient.

Hi,
I had the same issue in that the only exclusive option in a multiple was the fifth answer, however if you selected option one or option two then you could not select option 3, and if option 3 was selected then you could not select option one or two.

Took me a while but this is the jquery script that seemed to do the trick for me.

Note: I had to use a trigger click event to make the page believe that the option was being clicked as setting the property of the checkbox to checked, true and checked, false did not seem to behave as expected.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#answer963763X273X89293').click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked") && $('#answer963763X273X89291').is(":checked")){
$('#answer963763X273X89291').trigger('click');
}
if($(this).is(":checked") && $('#answer963763X273X89292').is(":checked")){
$('#answer963763X273X89292').trigger('click');
}
});
$('#answer963763X273X89291').click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked") && $('#answer963763X273X89293').is(":checked")){
$('#answer963763X273X89293').trigger('click');
}
});

$('#answer963763X273X89292').click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked") && $('#answer963763X273X89293').is(":checked")){
$('#answer963763X273X89293').trigger('click');
}
});
});
</script>
