How many chars in a text box

Question

Hi

I have 5 short answer quiz slides graded as a survey and i want to discourage my learners leaving one or two word answers.

Is there a way of working out how many chars have been typed in a box - so if its below a certain number I can alert learner.

dosen't need to be robust

Cheers community

You would need JavaScript to achieve that, JS has the length property for string values. Create a user variable to store the number of characters. That variable can be used in a conditional action which could show the warning if necessary. The content of a short answer question is stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice.
