JavaScript Logic Syntax Reference

What is JavaScript logic and how to use it?

QuestionPro's JavaScript logic facilitates the users to apply custom validation, special effects on the answer selection when the respondent is answering the surveys, etc. which enables the users to use their JavaScript knowledge and customize the survey to enhance the respondent's experience of answering the survey. To apply the JavaScript Logic to your surveys please follow the steps below:

Go to: Survey >> Edit >> Workspace
Click on the Logic button on the top right corner of the question

Select the JavaScript Logic option from the first drop-down.

Enable the toggle for Pre JavaScript Logic to apply the JavaScript logic before that specific question appears to the respondent or enable the toggle for Post JavaScript Logic to apply the JavaScript logic after the respondent has answered that specific question.
Add the JavaScript inside the respective area and click on the Save Logic button.

Test out the logic by answering the survey and make changes to the logic accordingly.
