Reverse single grid between sub questions and answer options
Contents
Challenge
Client would like to show Sub-Questions and Answer Options inversly on Single-Grid. Therefore, we have to reverse the columns and rows on Single-grid. By the way, we have to change the radio buttons accordingly.
Example
We have the original Single Grid like this:
After reversing, we have a Single Grid like this:
Solution
1. Reverse Sub-Questions' names and Answer Options' names.
2. Rearrange the radio buttons accordingly.
Code
1 var normaloptClick = optclick;
2 this.optclick = function(slbl, lidx, blnk)
3 {
4 return normaloptClick(slbl, lidx, blnk);
5 }
6
7 quest.onInit = function()
8 {
9 var i,j;
10 // declare variables
11 var mytable = $("table[class='grid_inner']");
12 var numberOfQuestions = this.questions.length;
13 var numberOfAnswers = quest.questions[0].options.length;
14 // get all radio buttons in the Grid
15 var radioButtonsEven = $("td[class='grid_subquestion_even']");
16 var radioButtonsOdd = $("td[class='grid_subquestion_odd']");
17
18 // ~~~~~~swap column to row and inversely~~~~~~
19
20
21
22 // swap radio buttons
23 var newTable = $("<table>");
24 var ao;
25 var sq;
26 var aoName;
27 var sqName;
28 var firstRow = $("<tr>");
29 var posAo;
30 var posSq;
31 firstRow.append($(".grid_empty_cell"));
32 for(i=0;i<numberOfQuestions;i++)
33 {
34 posAo = i + 1;
35 sqName = "td[id='grid_subquestion_text_" + posAo +"']";
36 sq =$(sqName);
37 firstRow.append(sq);
38 }
39 newTable.append(firstRow);
40
41 var newTr;
42 for(i=0;i<numberOfAnswers;i++)
43 {
44
45 posSq = i + 1;
46 aoName = "td[id='grid_answeroption_text_" + posSq +"']";
47 ao =$(aoName);
48 newTr = $('<tr>');
49 newTr.append(ao);
50 for(j=0;j<numberOfQuestions;j++)
51 {
52 if (j%2==0)
53 {
54 newTr.append(radioButtonsEven[Math.round(j/2)*numberOfAnswers+i]);
55 }
56 else
57 newTr.append(radioButtonsOdd[(Math.round(j/2)-1)*numberOfAnswers+i]);
58 }
59 newTable.append(newTr);
60
61 }
62 newTable.append($("input[value='']"));
63 mytable.empty();
64 mytable.append(newTable.children()[0]);
65
66 // Fix the input[type=hidden][name=dir] problem -> Cause bug on IE (can not go to next question)
67 if($('input[type=hidden][name=dir]').length == 0)
68 $("#query").append("<input id='dir' type='hidden' name='dir'>");
69
70 /*
71 var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
72 if ( ua.indexOf( "firefox" ) == -1 && ua.indexOf( "safari" ) == -1)
73 {
74 $("#query").append("<INPUT id='dir' type=hidden name='dir'>");
75 }
76 */
77 }
