making survey questions mandatory

[jshinnn]

Hi, I see that there's a way to make survey questions mandatory for the survey-text plugin with required: true. Is there a way to make other survey questions optional / do this with other plugins, specifically the survey-html-form plugin? This is in the latest version of jsPsych. Thanks in advance!

Hi @jshinnn, with the survey-html-form plugin you're providing all of the HTML that defines the form elements, so you can make any of them required by adding the required attribute to the input element. Here's an example:

var trial = {
  type: jsPsychSurveyHtmlForm,
  preamble: '<p>How are you feeling <b>right now?</b></p>',
  html: '<p> I am feeling <input name="first" type="text" required />, <input name="second" type="text" required />, and <input name="third" type="text" required />.</p>'
};
