Presentation of un-answered mandatory questions  
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 16:53. Related project: 2.x all. New
It's very usual to find users submitting the form with mandatory questions unanswered. Then the page gets reloaded again with a change of css to point out the such questions. The problem is when a survey page is too long with more number of questions then the user needs to scroll all along to find out what he missed. This is fine but a better alternative can be thought of.

Solution #1: Using Light Window type interface
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 16:53.
One solution is to use a light window type interface. Whenever user submits (clicks next button) the page, all unanswered questions will be popped out in a light window notifying the user that they are mandatory. This provides a easy UI and a good surveying experience. After filling these missed mandatory questions he'll be taken forward as usual.

Solution #2: Using body CSS
Written by Shnoulle the 19 Mar 10 at 01:25.
When a page is submitted, if an error occur (mandatory or bad response) put a body class="error" and div class question error mandatory

And then with css, template can choose to show or not the good question. It's presentation, ls code don't have to make presntation choice, only tempate have to make presentation choice. (for example with jquery : put a animated hiding on good question)

And please, don't use light window ...

Abrupt ending or Closing the Survey  
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 09:51. Related project: 2.x all. New
Every now and then we find incomplete surveys.
The user might get bored in the middle (happens usually for long surveys) and/or close his browser window (can be sometimes unexpectedly ) which results in incomplete survey.

Solution #1: Option to email the link
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 09:51.
Whenever the user closes the browser in the middle of the survey, a confirmation screen should pop out asking him to enter his email so that he can continue answering that particular survey at a later stage if he wish to.
A link to that particular session should be mailed to the user

Solution #2: Important Questions
Written by anishseth the 21 Mar 10 at 08:05.
once the user gets bored and decides to switch off the survey we can cut the survey to the most important questions. The user will be informed that the survey has been cut to a few important questions, so he/she are requested to complete the survey.
