HTML/Javascript errors when using custom items (case 3294)

[louisem]

I am banking my head against the wall with a questionnaire that I had working perfectly fine until I needed to add in an option to skip each question. I have multiple responses per page, each question has multiple options selected using radio buttons. I also found some Java Script to check to make sure each question was answered before submitting. All was working well until I added in an option to skip each question. Now I am getting random HTML syntax errors, code 0, only when I open my .html doc in various editors and in Firefox's debugging feature, there is absolutely nothing wrong. Any suggestions in how to debug?

FYI the survey has a total of 6 html docs and this problem is occurring on 5 but the one without issues is exactly like the rest so I am stumped.

Thanks

Louise

Hi Louise. If you're still having this problem, would you mind posting your html code? One possibility that occurs to me is that the new skip feature you added might have been coded using a new version of html, html5. Most of the latest browsers would recognize the code, but MediaLab doesn't yet accept html5 in custom items.

If this does turn out to be the problem, it might be possible to simply re-code the same command in html4.

I hope this helps!
