The freezeTopQ function freezes (sticks) the first question on the page (typically a descriptive text question) to the top of the page when the page is scrolled. Functionality includes:

• Smooth scrolling
• Automatically sets matching background color if transparent
• Optionally set padding of first question to override theme

Here is a quick video demonstration:

This function is available for a reasonable fee. Contact TomG on the Qualtrics Community to learn more.

To make the function available to all page/questions in the survey, copy the function to the Survey Header inside a script tag: Add the freezeTopQ function to the survey header to make it available to any page/question in the survey. Go to Look & Feel → General → Header edit → and paste the provided freezeTopQ function JS:

<script>/*Paste freezeTopQ function JS here*/</script>

Alternatively, paste the freezeTopQ function JS into a question's JS outside the existing Qualtrics functions to make it available to questions on the page.

Add JS to call the freezeTopQ function to apply it to the first question on a page (the question to be frozen at the top) as follows:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
	freezeTopQ(this);
});

To adjust top or bottom question padding, specify the desired options in the second function argument as an object. For example:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
	freezeTopQ(this,{paddingTop:"5px",paddingBottom:"5px"});
});

paddingBottom specifies the bottom padding of the first question.

Default: theme default

paddingTop specifies the top padding of the first question.

Default: theme default
