LELCW Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Does anyone know of a way to create a numerical ranked-choice item within a form? I tried the Survey option, but it only offers "strongly agree>strongly disagree" as options. I'd love to have exactly that, but with numbers 1-5 instead of the text choices. I know I could use radio buttons, but then they list vertical instead of horizontal. What I want is an answer option that will allow users to select 1-5, and only select one option, preferably horizontal like the survey option displays. I have seen and few responses on the web that suggest the survey choices can be changed in CSS, but they cannot. I built this out in Jotform (see screenshot), and I know it would not look like that on my SS site, but you get the idea. Link to comment

LELCW Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 (edited) @Lesum So even if it would not look like the Jotform option, there is no way whatsoever to create a question where the respondent selects 1-5 as the answer? Edited July 14 by LELCW Link to comment
creedon Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 You might be able to get closer to the example you show functionally using Radio fields. These wouldn't be grouped logically in any way. Each field would be stand alone. But with some CSS and perhaps some JavaScript you might be able to achieve something reasonable visually. I have no code to share or know for sure that one could actually do this. I did try a quick CSS change that might be the start of such an effect. Find my contributions useful?

Solution LELCW Posted August 9 Author Solution Share Posted August 9 I gave up, created a Jotform, and embedded it on the page. It looks terrible compared to how sleek a native form is, but there was no good workaround. Sometimes I get so frustrated by the limitations of a Squarespace site. Link to comment
