I'm required to use a limited survey application, and have to adapt the provided code to meet more advanced functionality.
I need to create a weighted ranking question, so users can
select their top three choices and the data will go into the survey application and be accessible in the survey reports. The application only supports 2 types of questions (text fill & multiple choice) but I can alter the code, as long as it still sends the form data back to the survey application.
The code is set up so it will show a drop-down menu of 0-3 for each option. Now I want to limit the user's choices so they can only
select one "
1" "2" or "3", three choices total. Ideally, if the user already had "2" selected for one option and they tried to
select it for another option, it would set the first "2" as "0" or blank.
Is this possible to do with javascript? If so, does anyone know of a site that might show code like this, or provide similar enough examples that I could adapt it?
Current code here:
<html>
<head><title>Survey</title></head>
<!-- Changes
- remove br to put dropdown next to text for each item. Switch text & dropdown order
for each item.
- add comments to separate each question
- removed blue title font
- add instructions
Goals
- limit choices to one
1 one 2 and one 3, three choices total.
