Showing Answer Option in tab

Showing_Answer_Option_in_tab

We have a single question which has a lot of answer options. We want to show answer options in Alphabetical tab

Solution

Using Java Script property of question.

There are 2 type of alphabetical tabs.

1. No tab is selected as default
2. An extra tab showing all answer options which is selected as default

Code 1: No tab is selected by default

/// Maximum number of column in tab.
var columnPerRow = 3;


//answer option list to display outside of the tabs
var excludeAOs = [998,999];

Array.prototype.contains = function(item)
{
   var i;
   for(i=0; i<this.length; i++)
   {
      if (this[i] == item)
         return true;
   }
   return false;
}

 //Overrider Array to find an item easier
Array.prototype.indexOf = function(character)
{
   for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
      if (this[i] == character)
         return i;
   return -1;
}

quest.getHTML = function()
{
   if (this.type != 1 && this.type != 2)
      return;

   //This code used to set data to question.options
   ans = this.answer.split("_|_");
   for (i = 0; i < ans.length; i++) 
   {
      ans[i] = ans[i].split("_:_");
   }

   for (i = 0; i < ans[0].length; i++) 
   {
      if (ans[0][i].length > 0) 
      {
