Now that javascript text in the question is back. I will contact the server support from the university maybe they can change something. Or if you have some tool to fix that problem it will be great. Maybe in the old version is possibel with something else not javascript do that stuff, without disabel that xml thing in security???
Thanks very much, have a nice evening, Dubi

Old version, new version, local install, university server, it is all quite confusing.

My guess: Your university server runs a very old version of Limesurvey (most do and I don't know why, probably because the admins just don't care...) and probably the XSS filter is on, which makes it impossible for you to insert Javascript (or HTML into your survey). I doubt that they will switch off the XSS filter for you.

I am using limesurvey version 2.05+

I am also having trouble with timing for group questions.

I have two questions per group: One text display with an image and one multiple choice. I want the text display with an image to show for 6seconds before it automatically moves on.

I have it set to show question by question, and I also have group randomisation.

However, the problem is the image doesn't stay on the screen for 6 seconds, it only stays for about half a second.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

"I have it set to show question by question"

Hmmm, but this means you don't have trouble with timing for group questions, right? *confused*

Please make sure that you clean your cache and cookies before testing. It's possible that the remaining time is saved at e.g a cookie and if that time is zero, the page will directly be submitted because the timer is treated as "counted down".

Sorry but do you know whether for Version 3.14 would it still be this code , where 5639 is the question ID?

<script javascript $(("#question{5639}").hide()></script>

Thanks so much!

Hi,

<script javascript $(("#question{5639}").hide()></script>
is not correct.
{QID} is the expression manager variable for the questionID.
So either question{QID} or the hardcoded question5639

Your code has several errors.

Thanks so much! This hides the timer though. Is there any way of keeping the timer ?

What exactly are you trying to do?

I'd like to implement a timer (3 mins) for the question group. So I have used a "hidden question" to do that. However, I would ideally like the timer to be visible all the time while participants are solving the questions in that question group.

What question type did you use for the timer? Can you attach a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only the relevant questions?
