Back Next and Continue Buttons on scrolling survey page

daniel.h — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 13:48:20 GMT

I have a survey page with 24 items. the navigation buttons appear at the correct location when the page loads but when I scroll down the buttons do not scroll with the rest of the items. What needs to be added to the page parameters to make the navigation buttons stay at the bottom of the screen when scrolling. Using "backbuttonposition" allows me to place the button on the screen where I would like, but it does not stay there when I scroll down to read the other items. Below shows how my page is set up:

Thank you!

<surveypage HH_Att_S1>
/caption ="<%parameters.pageinstructions%>"
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2.5%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/subcaptionfontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/itemfontstyle = ("Arial", 2.25%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/ txcolor = (0, 0, 0)
/questions = [1 = q01, q02, q03, q04, q05, q06, q07, q08, q09, q10, q11, q12, q13, q14, q15, q16, q17, q18, q19, q20, q21, q22, q23, q24]
/showpagenumbers = false
/showquestionnumbers = false
/ nextbuttonposition = (75%, 90%)
/ backbuttonposition = (25%, 90%)
</surveypage>

Thanks - That makes sense. I didn't realize they would automatically appear at the bottom unless I set them to a specific position on the screen.

I looked at the code and

[quote]. the navigation buttons appear at the correct location when the page loads but when I scroll down the buttons do not scroll with the rest of the items. [/quote]

is the intended behavior. You explicitly positioned the navigation buttons at

/ nextbuttonposition = (75%, 90%)
/ backbuttonposition = (25%, 90%)

and that is where they will remain when you scroll further down past 90% of the display height. They will not change positions and are not supposed to.

Either position the buttons at the very bottom of the page by either removing the /nextbuttonposition and /backbuttonposition attributes (they'll appear after all question automatically) or by explicitly placing them at approx. 310%

/ nextbuttonposition = (75%, 310%)
/ backbuttonposition = (25%, 310%)

Alternatively, consider splitting the 24 questions across several pages.

Please provide the full code, i.e. something that actually is able to run. Please also clarify which version you are using.
