Survey123 - Invoke JS function from a html link

EM-wsp — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 00:22:42 GMT

Hi,

Survey123 accepts html links (<a></a>) in notes. Html links may have "onclick" event which can be used to execute a JS function.

Is there a way to setup a link in the Survey123 Excel form which invokes the JS function, which otherwise I am called though calculation:
pulldata("@javascript", "functions.js", "myFunction", ${param1}, ${param2})

Using some CSS I could turn it to a custom button in my survey.

Thank you,

Hello @EM-wsp,

Survey123 only supports the href and style attributes for the <a> tag. You can make a JavaScript function relevant based on a select_one question so if some value is selected in the select_one question the question with the JavaScript function becomes relevant and the JS function is executed.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I ended up using a multiple_select question with only one option since it has a check-in box rather than a radio tag. Feels a liitle more intuitive.
