Quick Post : 22Surveys – “CSS Clickable Image Questions”

by

We received a comment on a post recently that lead us to this site which we thought you might be interested in. 22Surveys is a site in Amsterdam run by Dennis Sewberath.  Dennis has been a Survey Developer and Designer and has been creating and designing surveys for many years and loves to share his ideas and opinions. He tries to use only open source and free software and code to show you his ideas and examples for online surveys.

His latest post was on clickable images using CSS for Data Collection and we think its worth a look.

Learn Flash Lesson 4 : Generic Flash Example

by

In this article we will take what we have learnt so far and explore one concept in making our flash object generic. The idea here will be to pass something into the flash object that set’s it up and then the flash object returns the selected result. This object could then be used in multiple positions throughout our survey to collect data.

Learn Javascript Lesson 7a : Integrated Count Down

by

As a follow up to the excellent javascript ‘Count Down’ example, I wanted to show you how to extend this functionality such that the ‘Count down’ is fully automated and doesn’t require either:

  • Specific references to the the variable name, and
  • Specific reference to the maximum number of characters declared in the variable

Assuming you have the Lesson 7 example working, these are the general next steps required:

  1. Move the mrData tags and HTML code specific to the ‘Count down’ functionality into a Question sub-template, along with additional mrData tags for automation
  2. Move the core javascript code into an external file (.js) and reference that external file from the new Question sub-template
  3. Modify the metadata file so that the variable in question references the new Question sub-template

Let’s take a look at each step in turn
