I am trying to create a questionnaire that will not be posted online
but will use internet explorer to be viewed. Most of the
questionnaires consist of radio buttons that we are forcing the
participants to answer in some form using jquery with this code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#DEMO').submit(function(){
var names = [];
var invalid = null;
$('input.required').each(function(){
names[$(this).attr('name')] = true;
});
for ( name in names )
{
var ofname = $('input.required[name="'+name+'"]');
var selected = ofname.filter(':checked');
if( selected.length < 1 )
{
invalid = name;
}
}
if ( invalid != null )
{
alert('One or more questions were not answered. Please go
back and select an answer for every question. Remember, you can
always select "no answer."');
return false;
}
return true;
});
});
We also have drop down boxes and text boxes in other questionnaires
that do not seem to work with the filter. When I try to change the
filter for the radio button to ":radio" that does not work. I have
tried ":selected" and that will not let me continue at all. And
":input" just ignores the alert all together.
I have class="required" for all of the questions. I was wondering if
I need to put the varibale names for each question somewhere in the
java or am I completely off? I am not a java wizz so anything would
help
