Delaying the presentation of text in Qualtrics

[Rachel]

Hello,
I found this code snippet on Resrcer for delaying a question on Qualtrics:

this.questionContainer.style.display = ‘none’;
(function (delay_container) {
delay_container.style.display = ‘block’;
}).delay(30 /*seconds*/,this.questionContainer);

This code is not working for me. I edited the javascript for the question I want to delay and copy-pasted the code into the javascript editor in place of “/*Place Your Javascript Below This Line*/ ”

When I preview the survey, the question is displayed along with everything else and is not delayed. Perhaps I did something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Sorry about the delayed response. The code seems to work for me, what type of question are you trying to delay the presentation of? You’re probably experiencing the same bug as Poppy, whose slider questions won’t show up. Sadly, this is a rather difficult issue to fix in the QRTEngine, and impossible in “vanilla” Qualtrics.
