Yes....are you talking about this line?
Not when you have a variable (string) which spans several lines. In that case, every line must end with a backslash character '\'. You could put the whole string on one line but it would be kinda hard to read.I thought java scripts were immune to that?

Can you (Ricardo,Tony?) post a limesurvey question file or survey file of this working. I can't get it to work.

Here you go. For portability, in this test survey I replaced the question ID (9334) with the {QID} placeholder.

Hi all,
the solution presented by tpartner is going into the direction I am looking for, i.e. embedding drop downs into possible answers. However, what I need is to place the drop down not at the end of an answer but rather somewhere in the sentence.
Example:
'I am looking for <dropdown> a / the </dropdown> solution.'
The user then has to select his answer only through the drop down.
Any hint for a solution is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your solution. I copied your script into the source of the corresponding question but for some reason, it there is no change to the short text field in row 2, which I want to replace with a dropdown:
<p><span style="font-size:18px;">FRAGEBOGEN</span></p>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
var qID = 134;
var inputNum = 2;
// Define the select element (dropdown)
var select1 = '<select id="select1"> \
<option value="">-- Please Choose --</option> \
<option value="Apples">Apples</option> \
<option value="Oranges">Oranges</option> \
<option value="Pears">Pears</option> \
<option value="Bananas">Bananas</option> \
</select>';
// Hide the text input
$('#question'+qID+' li:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input.text').hide().parent().hide();
// Insert the select elements
$('#question'+qID+' li:eq('+(inputNum-1)+')').append(select1);
// Initially select an option if the question has already been answered
if($('#question'+qID+' li:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input.text').val()) {
$('#question'+qID+' li:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') select').val($('#question'+qID+' li:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input.text').val())
}
// Listener on the dropdowns - insert selected values into hidden text input
$('#question'+qID+' select').change(function() {
$(this).siblings('span').children('input.text').val($(this).val());
});
// Some styles
$('#question'+qID+' select').css({
'margin':'0.3em 0 0 1em'
});
});
</script>
Do you have any Ideas? Has anything changed for Version 2.67.3?
Thanks!

This is a 4-year-old thread so, yes, many things have changed.
Please start a new thread explaining exactly what you want to achieve.
Having said that, I am on vacation, responding via phone, so will not be able to contribute any code for at least 2 weeks.

Hi all.
I had this workaround working up to 2.73. Now in 3.x it is not working anymore, I believe that the different structure of the template has some role in it.
I used the following code to hide the textbox for a certain subquestion (inputNum) of the multiple short text question
$('#question'+qID+' div.question-item:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input.text').hide();
and the following to change it with a dropdown list (in this case named "prov1")
$('#question'+qID+' div.question-item:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input.text').before(prov1);
Could you please tell me what I should change to make this work again ?
I suspect it is the "div" part put dunno understand how to fix it.
Thank you very much!
