<dropdown> <listbox> <slider> <slidertrial> <surveypage> <textbox>

Syntax

Parameters

Remarks

Survey items that are layed out horizontally conserve vertical space, allowing more items to fit on a survey page. Vertical layout conserves horizontal space, which allows more text to be displayed in captions and options without wrapping. The default value is vertical.

Examples

The following shows a radiobutton survey item in horizontal layout:

<radiobutton ratingquestion>
/ caption = "How do you feel about icecream?"
/ options=["excellent", "good", "satisfactory", "bad", "awful"]
/ orientation=horizontal
</radiobutton>
