Numeric and text subquestions
The HTML code for a numeric or text subquestion is the same as for a categorical question except that the <input> statement for a row containing input boxes rather than radio buttons or check boxes is:
<input type="text" name="cell_id" class="mrEdit" autocomplete="off" style="" maxlength="length" value=""/>
where:
▪cell_id is the unique name for the current grid cell. UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server creates this as _Q<loop_name>_Qloopcat_Qqname, where <loop_name> is the name of the main loop (grid) question, loopcat is the current item in the loop control list (the current column), and <question_name> is the name of the repeated question.
▪length is the maximum number of digits or characters that can be entered in the input box.
For example, if the grid is defined as:
CupsPerDay "How many cups of tea and other beverages do you
normally drink on ..." loop
{
Weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays
} fields
(
Tea "Tea" long [0..99];
NonTea "Other Beverages" long [0..99];
) expand grid;
the cell for cups of tea on weekdays will become:
<input type="text" name="_QCupsPerDay_QWeekdays_QTea" class="mrEdit" autocomplete="off" style="" maxlength="2" value=""/>
After a snapback or restart, any answers that were entered in the original portion of the interview will have the respondent's answer set in the
value="" attribute and will appear when the question is displayed. See
Numeric and date/time responses and
Text responses for details.
