Is it possible to move the text box next to the radio buttons in for example column 1?

    var nextQuestion3 = $(thisQuestion).nextAll('.text-short:eq(2)');
    var nextQuestions = $(nextQuestion1).add(nextQuestion2).add(nextQuestion3);
    var nextLength = nextQuestions.length;
    var sqLength = ('tr.answers-list', thisQuestion).length;
 
    // Hide the short-text questions
    $(nextQuestions).hide();
 
    // Move the hidden text inputs into the array
    for (i = 0; i < nextLength; i++) {
      var workingIndex = (sqLength - 1) - (nextLength - i);
      var nextQ = nextQuestions[i];
      $('th.answertext:eq('+workingIndex+')', thisQuestion).closest('tr').addClass('otherRow').find('input.radio:eq(0)').after($('input[type="text"]', nextQ));

Works nicely, however, this will append on "input[type="text"]" which is the first column if I'm understanding the jquery right (I'm a beginner in jquery), what if someone would like to have it in the column 2 instead? I mean, is there a general way to specify in which column and row next to the radio button? Thanks for your nice answers!

I wonder, is there a way to do this with an Array (Text) type question -- a column for "No Answer", and a new row for "Other" with text input?

I don't understand the question. The example above gives 3 "Other" inputs and can easily be expanded for more.

Thanks @tpartner for this great code!

However, I only wanted to ask if there is also a way to accomplish this without using JavaScript? @DenisChenu has posted something that seems to go into this direction. Unfortunately, it is not fully clear how his example actually works. Does anybody have a detailed explanation of @DenisChenu's post or how to accomplish this without using JavaScript?

I never put any code about a solution to integrate "other free text" in the array .

Just the simple Expression manager system to fill sub questions with another question : master.sondages.pro/919152

Well, still with JavaScript, but this may be a better solution - the "Other" or "Comments" fields are in modal (pop up) dialogs.
