Hi All,

How do I change the text on certain field labels? For example on an File Upload field, I would rather it say "Click here to Upload Resume" rather than "Upload Files" as it does by default.

Also - a more adventurous change, is there a way I can replace the standard naming for 'survey" for 'application' so when I offer save capabilities, its "Save Application" rather than "Save Survey" like it is today?

Is it possible to change these on a per survey basis, or if I change it for one, it will reflect for all the survey's in the system.

Thanks,
Adam

Some elements can be changed in your template.js file. Those changes would apply to all surveys using that template.

For example, add the following to the end of template.js.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() { 
  $('a.upload').text('Click here to Upload Resume');
});

I don't see that text anywhere. What LimeSurvey version are you using and can you provided a screenshot?

Unfortunately, in that version, there are no specific selectors to target with jQuery. All I can suggest is that you modify the translation file.
