Basic Hints

Questionnaire viewer is implemented in a way that you can add javascript to manipulate the way your questions are displayed.

jQuery is already included in the viewer, thanks to what javascript has even more powerful effect! (read more about jquery here: http://jquery.com/)

Javascript is a property on both question and questionnaire levels, which means that you can add javascript for each question or for the whole questionnaire.

The most important features are:

  • quest: the current question's object
  • questioncheck: the function that will be called before going Next

quest

There are several important properties in quest object:

  • quest.questions: array of sub questions
  • quest.options: array of answer options
  • quest.setQuestions(Array subQuestions): assign an array of question objects to the sub question list of the current question
  • quest.setOptions(Array options): assign an array of options to the answer option list of the current question
  • quest.setAnswer(string value): assign a value to the question
  • ques.getHTML(): returns the HTML which will be rendered to display the question
  • quest.onInit(): called right after loading the question

questioncheck

ErrorMessages.getInstance().showErrorMessage(msg);

ErrorMessages.getInstance().clearErrorMessages();
