Dear Soscisurvey,

I am having trouble getting my javascript to work. I am honestly a beginner at coding and very new to javascript.

The HTML element which I am using is called the Dynamic Identity Fusion Index (DIFI). It provides information on the permeability of the boundary between the personal and social self on a sliding pictorial scale. For more information you can refer the website below:
http://www2.uned.es/pspp/measures/difi/index.htm

I received almost the entire script from the website and have been tinkering with different tags. e.g and to make it work but these do not seem to be compatible with soscisurvey's format.

So far the script does not show anything on the preview page. Can you help me understand where I have gone wrong on creating the script?

Please see the javascript below:

Kind regards,
Divan

Ps. I needed to shorten the script due to exceeding the 8000 character limit.

There is no 8000 character limit - at least if you store the script as "text" (formatting: HTML code) in the list of questions.

To track the rrors, please use the browser's error console. I have added some information on that here: https://www.soscisurvey.de/help/doku.php/en:create:javascript#troubleshooting
