How do I change the size of the Other-Specify text box in a flat question? (Power Surveys)

Other-Specify answer options can be resized by width only in a Choice question. This script will only work with Single and Multi-Choice question types (non-visual questions).

Detailed Steps

1. Create a Choice question in your questionnaire.
2. Right-click on the Choice question containing the Other-Specify answer option in the questionnaire tree.
3. Choose Edit Scripts.
4. Click on the Style tab.
5. Copy and paste the following script into the blank section:

<!--

Script Name: How do I change the size of the Other-Specify text box? (flat only)

To ensure your script works as expected, always copy the original script from the script library found in the 

support portal. Failure to use the most up to date script from the script library may cause unexpected results. 

-->

<style>
.os {
 width: 300px;
}
</style>

Note: This script will only change the width of the Other-Specify text box and not the height of the box.

6. You can modify the value 300 to whatever size you want.
7. Click Save.
8. Validate your study then run a test, you will see the box with the new width that you specified.
