Array (texts) and default value change with onclick? was created by Raymond1612

Hello. I am looking for help with the following:

I have a "Array (texts)" question with numbers only for which I use an javascript to set the default value to 0:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   $(document).ready(function() {

       var defaultText = '0';

       $('#question{QID} tr[id^="javatbd"] input:text').each(function(i) {
           if($(this).val() == '') {
               $(this).val(defaultText)
           }
       });
   });
</script>

That's working fine, but I want the default value to be cleared once the enduser selects a cell to prevent wrong input.
I am using limesurvey Version 3.15.8+190130

Thanks in advance!

This script should do the trick:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" data-author="Tony Partner">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
 
        var defaultText = '0';
 
    var $inputs = $('#question{QID} tr[id^="javatbd"] input:text');
 
        $inputs.each(function(i) {
            if($.trim($(this).val()) == '') {
                $(this).val(defaultText);
            }
        }).on('keydown', function(e) {
      if($.trim($(this).val()) == defaultText) {
        $(this).val('');
      }
    }).on('keyup change', function(e) {
      if($.trim($(this).val()) == '') {
        $(this).val(defaultText);
      }
    });
 
    });
</script>

You might want to think about updating your installation. Almost 3 years without security patches and bug fixes, just saying. ;-)

The script works perfectly. Thanks for that!
And I'll pass on the message about the update to our administrator.
