Custom item - Autosum

[wagnerla]

I also need an item just like this (which I have posted about in another thread before finding this one). It looks great at first - however, I couldn't get it to work because whenever the total was supposed to add up to 100, the box said it was '10'. Thoughts? fixes?

There's also a straggling letter 'h' hanging down on the page - not sure if this has anything to do with it. I'm not super familiar with Javascript, although I've been trying/willing to learn in order to deal with these items I need.

Got this to work for me after all! Some minor edits to the code, and it worked beautifully. I suspect maybe it didn't work before because of some browser compatibility issues, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, thanks to all for providing this code - it was a big help to me.

Wagnerla,

Thanks for the update--would you care to post and attach your revised version just in case it could help anyone who comes across the same problem?

Sure - here's my version of it. I took out the hanging "h" which seemed to be causing some problems. I also re-did the layout so the percentages are vertical instead of spread out across the page, and made it so that a participant can enter "100" in one box and leave the rest as zero. There's a style sheet that makes it look more similar to the default MediaLab style, for better continuity. I hope this is helpful to some people.

Thanks, this looks great!!

Could someone tell me what codes to use to get the table here, especially how to get the total 100? Thanks,

Can you elaborate? e.g., are you wondering how to edit the underlying html code, or how to use the form within a MediaLab questionnaire?
