Challenge

In order to categorize sub questions in a grid question

As a questionnaire creator

I want to add extra rows to the grid

Example

I have a single grid question.

QuestionTips SingleGrid 1.jpg

I want to have an extra row to group some sub questions together.

QuestionTips SingleGrid 4.jpg

Solution

Find the row in the grid, add a new row before it.

Code

 1 //add a row before a sub question in the grid
 2 //subQuestionIndex: the index of sub question which we should add a row before
 3 //cssClass: the stylesheet that would be applied to the new row
 4 //text: name of the sub question group
 5 //includeAnswerOptionTexts: if it is true, answer option texts will be included in the new row
 6 quest.addRowBefore = function(subQuestionIndex, cssClass, text, includeAnswerOptionTexts)
 7 {
 8  //get number of columns
 9  var n = $(".grid_inner")[0].rows[0].cells.length;
10  $(".grid_inner").find("tr").each(
11  function(i)
12  {
13  if (i == subQuestionIndex + 1)
14  {
15  if (!includeAnswerOptionTexts)
16  {
17  $(this).before(
18  $("<tr>").append($("<td colspan="+n+">").text(text).addClass(cssClass))
19  );
20  }
21  else
22  {
23  var tr = $("<tr>").append($("<td>").text(text).addClass(cssClass));
24  for (var j=0; j<quest.questions[0].options.length; j++)
25  {
26  tr.append($("<td>").text(quest.questions[0].options[j].text).addClass(cssClass));
27  }
28  $(this).before(tr);
29  }
30  }
31  }
32  )
33 }
34 quest.onInit = function()
35 {
36  //insert a cell before Don't know on header
37  var dontKnow_value = 3;
38  
39  this.addRowBefore(1, "extra_row_header", "My sub question group", true);
40 }
