Can you activate a test survey for me to see?

Cheers,

Add this to the end of template.css:
Code:
.inlineRow td.questiontext {
  font-weight: normal;
}
 
#inlineWrapper0 td.questiontext {
  font-weight: bold;
}

tpartner wrote: Ah, I see. The "Multiple question types in array" workaround won't work for you because it's designed for individual questions, not array type or multiple-text type questions.

In your case I think it would be easiest to simply create a new column in your array and insert the "Age" text inputs into it.

Here's your survey back with the array question placed before the multiple-text question. The source of the array question contains the script below


A much belated thank you to tpartner for his gracious help getting an alternate workaround for this scenario, which seems to be working perfectly. Your assistance is greatly appreciated, even if it took me a few months to realise I hadn't actually posted a response .... :blush:

Hello -

I successfully adopted the 'multiple questions in array' example ( manual.limesurvey.org/images/5/59/Limesurvey_survey_62584.lss ) for my purposes and it worked great - as Long as I used the Default template.

However, we are working with a template which is based on blueandgrey. We discovered an entry in this Forum where this issue was discussed and my colleague made several attempts to adjust the code but so far the result is that either None of the questions is displayed or - and this is the case with this latest Version - all questions are not listed side by side in an Array but one after the other (stacked vertically). And it does this now with both templates - Default and blueandgrey.

Any idea how to fix this?

This is what it Looks like at the Moment:
Test Survey multiple question types in array

Here is the code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).ready(function() { 
 
    // Call the "sideBySide" function with number of rows, columns and start question (?)
    sideBySide(3, 5, 1);   
    });
 
  function sideBySide(rows, columns, startQuestion) {
 
    /*********** 
    Display multiple questions side by side
    ***********/
 
    if ($('div.qRow1').length == 0) {
 
      var rowNum = 0;
      var colNum = 1;
      var rowList = new Array(); 
 
      //////// Add question classes for later use ////////
 
      // Loop through all questions and add row and column specific classes
      $('div[id^="question"]').each(function(i) {
        if(rowNum <= rows { // This IF condition only needed if there are questions following the "inline" questions
          $(this).addClass('qRow'+rowNum+'').addClass('qCol'+colNum+'').addClass('inlineQuestion');
          if(rowNum == 0 &amp;&amp; colNum > 1) {
            $(this).addClass('columnLabel');
          }
          if(rowNum > 0 &amp;&amp; colNum == 1) {
            $(this).addClass('rowLabel');
          }
          else if(rowNum > 0 &amp;&amp; colNum > 1) {
            $(this).addClass('questionCell');
          }
          if(colNum == columns) {
            rowList.push('qRow'+rowNum+'');
            rowNum++;
            colNum = 1;
          }
          else {
            colNum++;
          }
        }
        else {
          $(this).addClass('normalQuestion');
        }
      });

      $('table.container').css({

You have an typo in your script causing a fatal JavaScript error.

This:
Code:
if(rowNum <= rows {

Should be this:
Code:
if(rowNum <= rows) {

Oops - Thanks - with this correction the side-by-side function now works with the default template but still not with blueandgrey (it does not Show any of the questions - which was my actual problem).
Greetings
Daniel

Again: Thank you for this correction of the script; however, this still does not resolve my original problem that the side-by-side function works with the Default template but does not work with the Blueandgrey template (none of the questions that I want to arrange in an array shoes up). I would be really happy about ideas how to fix this.

"Not working" is not a very helpful error description. Please always post a link to an activated demo survey so we can have a look at the HTML source code.
