Choosing an answer will automatically trigger the survey to go to the next page was created by Breezy

I am creating a survey for a small pop-up window. I will have one question per page. To keep things simple, I would like the to survey to automatically go to the next page immediately after the answer is selected so I can hide the next button to save space. Is that doable? It would be similar to the Google consumer surveys (example: www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/websat_example )

Hi, Breezy,
please have a look at this thread
www.limesurvey.org/de/foren/can-i-do-thi...ithout-clicking-next

I am also interested in a possibility to proceed automatically if the maximum length in a numerical input is reached.

Best regards
Joffm

I am also interested in a possibility to proceed automatically if the maximum length in a numerical input is reached.

Try this in the source of a numeric question:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
 
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    var maxLength = $('input[type="text"]:eq(0)', thisQuestion).attr('maxlength');
 
    $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).on('keyup', function(e) {
      if($(this).val().length == maxLength) {
        $('#movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').trigger('click');
      }
    });
  });
</script>

Cheers,
Tony Partner

...again, all sorts of caveats about the respondent not being able to fix errors with these auto-submit workarounds.

I tried using the code for the following link: www.limesurvey.org/de/foren/can-i-do-thi...ithout-clicking-next

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    $('#question{QID} input.radio').click(function() {
      if($('#movesubmitbtn').length > 0) {
        document.limesurvey.move.value = 'movesubmit';
      }
      else {
        document.limesurvey.move.value = 'movenext';
      }
      document.limesurvey.submit();
    });
  });
</script>

When I click a radio button, the page refreshes but the question is the same. It doesn't seem to go to the next page. Any idea on why this would be?

I tried the following but then it doesn't register the answer before it clicks next. If I click the answer twice then it works

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    $('#question{QID} input.radio').click(function() {
      $('#movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').trigger('click');
    });
  });
</script>

Hi, Tony,

I use LS in this case to enter paper-pencil questionnaires.
Here everything is typed as numeric input, because this is much faster then using the mouse clicking radios or checkboxes.

I was looking for a solution like yours to avoid the use of the TAB key.
And most of the question are answered with a 1 digit code.

Thank you very much
Joffm

LimeSurvey version? Template used?

It works if I clicked directly on the radio button but not if I click on the label. I am debugging now so the link above will no longer work

Through some debugging I was able to finally get it to work. I hesitated to post this because I am sure that this is a very indirect way to do it but at least it works for me. I needed to add 10 ms delay to the click. I added the following to template.js

Code:

 function nextQ() 
 {
     $('#movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').trigger('click');
 }
 function appendClick(robject) 
 {
     robject.attr("onclick",robject.attr("onclick") + ';setTimeout(nextQ, 10)');
 }
$(document).ready(function()
{
    appendClick($('.radio-list input.radio'))  
 
   ...
