enablewhen

The enablewhen tag and is used to enable or disable a question when a specified condition is true. The script will work on any question type, open or closed-ended. Conditions can be based on same-page respondent input, or based on questions from earlier in the survey.

Syntax

Disable

Disabling questions is also possible using enablewhen. If the specified condition returns false on page load, enablewhen will keep the question enabled. But if the condition does return true, enablewhen will disable the question and prevent input. In the example below, Q9A is enabled, and remains enabled for answer responses 1 - 6 at Q9.  Selecting response 99 disables Q9A.

The enablewhen tag replaces now-deprecated enableWhenChecked and disableWhenChecked scripts.
