Customising SharePoint 2007 Survey Pages with pagebreaks

Question

SharePoint 2007 Standard

I have a survey, which has been broken up with page breaks. Is there a way to add introductory content to each segment? As best as I can tell, there isn't a new ASPX page for each section, so a change to the basic form will show on all pages.

Any ideas appreciated.

Answer 1

You could achieve it by generating introductory content on the client side as demonstrated below.

Steps

1) Add CEWP into Survey Edit Form page

2) Insert the following content into CEWP

<h2 id="questionSummary">Please specify your development skills​​​</h2> 
<script type="text/javascript">
function getParameterByName(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
    var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
        results = regex.exec(location.search);
    return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}


(function(){
   var questionSummary = $("#questionSummary");
   var fieldName = getParameterByName('FirstField');
   switch(fieldName){
       case "Skills":
          questionSummary.append("Please specify your development skills");
       break;
   }    


})();
</script>​

Key points:

• during page navigation in Survey form, query string parameter FirstField is appended

• function getParameterByName is used to retrieve query string parameter, in our case FirstField

Note: The specified example is for SharePoint 2013 but the same approach could be applied in SharePoint 2007
