I am looking to create a timer on a quiz that I am creating in Google Forms. I have found this post here - How to add a timer to Google Forms for a School Quiz? - from 2013 where it's mentioned that scripting might make this possible eventually. I am wondering if anyone has figured this out or has a solution. Ideally I would like to have the timer start when someone opens the form and auto submit or stop receiving submissions after a set elapsed time.
Thanks in advance :)
A Previous Question has mentioned this before. Right now you are correct, you cannot time a quiz using a script at the moment. Though this question does mention some "workarounds" such as using the Form Limiter tool posted in that question.
Also this was mentioned as a viable solution:
One way is to use Qualtrics. It has a "timing" question which can
automatically submit the page once the time is complete.
So, if your sections can be placed in 3 different pages, its quite
easy: Place a timing question on the top of each section with the time
settings.
And This link Tells you how to set the general settings of time limits (such as, open test on April 14th close on April 15th). You can set specific date limits but still no timer.
For Further Reference View this Google Product Forum.
Use an addon. Some work well, others don’t. A good one is Quilgo Time and Proctoring. But as with any addon, you have to sign in. If you decide to use a different addon, be wary of the requirements. You will also have to make a Quilgo account if you use the suggested addon. But to have it stop accepting responses, you can either use an addon (Form Limit Response - Limit Form Close) or just do it in the form settings (manual turn off). Where to find manual switch for turning off responses

I am trying to set initial focus to the first input field in each page of my app.
I have implemented the code in the following post and it is working great:
How to Set Initial Focus in a View?
But I found that it is not working for first view/page in app when it opens from Fiori Launchpad. I found the following code which is getting executed after my onAfterShow:
From sap/ushell/renderers/fiori2/Shell-dbg.controller.js
Could you please help to solve this?
I am using SAP UI5 version 1.56.7.
Author of that answer here. After browsing through the source code and documentation quite a while, I have to admit I couldn't find any acceptable solutions to this question either. My impression is that FLP developers want to make sure that the app doesn't interfere with setting the initial focus.
The lack of APIs and documentation thereof strongly suggests that there are compelling reasons behind this prevention (probably a11y related).
My advice is not to rely on timeouts but maintaining consistent UX by keeping the focus on the app title on its launch - as designed by SAP.
Solved the issue by passing around 200ms into setTimeout function for first page and it is working fine
I've searched the SurveyMonkey website, both help... and developer..., as well as the general net and stackoverflow, and can't find any examples of a SurveyMonkey survey being displayed in an in-page overlay (referred to by some as a "lightbox" or modal).
I think what I need to use is SurveyMonkey's Embed option, as opposed to Invitation or Survey Popups:
http://help.surveymonkey.com/articles/en_US/kb/How-do-I-embed-a-survey-or-have-it-open-in-a-popup-window-on-my-site
I'd like that overlay div to appear, close, etc upon the same triggers as a regular survey would/could, that is open if the user has no previous SurveyMonkey cookie, close when completed or closed by user, etc.
I can probably hack through a solution by forcing the survey into a custom overlay I build, but the behaviors would be more tricky, probably having to read the SurveyMonkey cookie, I suppose. Or, perhaps I could check for certain IDs of SurveyMonkey content that exists at various stages to pull off the behaviors (but I'll have to look at the generated code throughout the process to know if this is an option).
In short, it seems like someone else has surely run into this issue before and likely that a solution has already been created, at least partial to save me some time. I just can't find it.
Here are some things I found on the embed itself:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/blog/en/blog/2013/04/16/video-tutorial-how-to-embed-your-survey-on-a-website/
Any and all help much appreciated, pointers/resources, example code, etc. Thanks!
I want to be able to search an html page that is refreshing every 10 seconds for the word "stat". If the word is found I then want to alert the user through a pop up dialog and possibly a repeating sound until the user acknowledges it.
UPDATE:
Sorry the question was a bit ambiguous. I do not know a great deal about this stuff I just do it as a hobby.
OK so here is the deal. I work as Biomedical Electronics Technician for a hospital. We have a work order system that is web based. Nurses can enter a work order into this system. I have a browser window open at all times that refreshes periodically through an add-on for IE so I can always be up to date on the status of the work orders coming in. When a nurse the enters enters a work order they have the option of choosing Stat, High, Medium, or Low for the priority. When a stat work order is placed our response time should be within five minutes theoretically. I want some way to alert myself when a stat work order has been placed so I can respond accordingly. And I know a repeating sound would be annoying, but that might be the best way to get my attention.
Another caveat to this is the work order status can be changed by me, the tech. So when a work order is initially placed the status is Not assigned or something like that. Once I go start on a work order I change the status to In Progress. If I have to order a part I change the status to Hold for Parts, etc. So basically, what I am saying is I don't want to alerted if the status is anything but "Not assigned". If it will help I will get a copy of the source of the page when I get to work tomorrow.
Our IT department seems unwilling to help and the company that made the product is so busy chasing the daily bugs that show up to add new features such as this at this time. If I knew more a Google search might help, but alas I am a bit noobish in the programming realm, however I am 2 years from a C.S. degree so I am not a complete novice.
To answer another question, I do not have access to the page I am just viewing it so any sort of script would need to run on my client machine.
Thanks
I found this, try it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3028/
Maybe it can search for STAT on the entire page?
Based off your description, it doesn't sound like you have access to the server to change the code of the page itself, correct?
If that's the case, spend some time learning how to use Greasemonkey (or rather Greasemonkey for IE). It allows you to add functionality to a web page from the client (browser) side, regardless of what's on the server.
You'll need to find the elements that hold the "stat" term your after, and have it check periodically those elements periodically. Look into the setTimeout method for that periodicity. The rest you'll have to work out specific to that page.
What you're looking for, since you have python available, is to build a simple, easy to use webscraper.
First link is how i would do it quick and dirty.

Basically, read the page (even set the whole loop on a 10 second refresh timer).
Go line by line with a while readline loop.

We we wondering what are some ways developers have added a help function to their apps. What are some techniques people have used?
One way we were thinking of is to us UIWebView to display a HTML file with help instructions.
Thoughts appreciated.
I'm using UIWebView right now which pretty much contains all the help in a single page, along with some JQuery things to display popups, etc. But I like the way iCab Mobile (et al.) are doing things which is a sectioned UITableView with each row a separate topic or section within their overall help information (complete with icons...) then in their bundle they have each section in its own html file, organized by localization.
Another thing in my queue for the next release is to provide a dynamic "News" view. The rough idea is as follows... I have on my server a file or CGI where I can place small bits of news I'd like to push out to users. On startup, my app checks for network availability and if present, start a thread to see if anything has changed on the server since last updating the News data. If changes present, post an alert letting user know, and asking if they'd like to read it now. At that point, the latest news is already downloaded and cached, so they can simply read it later if they want, and I won't post anymore alerts until the server file changes again. (And one could add a preference/setting to disable these alerts.)
I'm thinking this would be a good way to let people know that some nasty bug is known and fixed and an update is sitting in the queue, solicit beta testers, promote upcoming features or other apps, etc. I can see where constant alerts everytime I've got something new to promote would get annoying, so having a setting to disable them means the user never has to read them unless they want to. Although some kind of override to warn of recently discovered/fixed bugs seems sensible.
FWIW, the author of Mover+/Mover has just started doing a similar thing, though I think Emanuele is perhaps only showing one Notelet at a time, whereas I envision a bit more of a history (shown in UIWebView) until I decide to age stuff off the bottom of the stack.
I'm using a scroll/page view to show several images containing small notes. Each image then tells the user about the more advanced functions on a specific part of the app.
In my opinion the help should only contain information that isn't a 100% relevant for the use of the application. It should be things the advanced user should use to make more use of the app. It should contain gold for the power users. The "basics" should be so obvious that no help would ever be needed. If that's not the case, I think, you've failed as a developer on the iPhone platform.
(Here's a screen shot from my demo app)
I'm currently creating a fairly complicated app. I'm thinking of doing help as a semi-transparent overlay - help in text form is hard to swallow for users; it's much more helpful to just point at stuff and say "this does that".
I know pop ups are not good and should be avoided if possible but is that really true that now, whenever i think of using a pop up, i should always be considering other options? Are there any exceptions? And the last question is: what is the default replacement for pop ups?
You can use any javascript based dialog. Look for example at jQuery UI Dialog
The "Web2.0" pop-up might be a lightbox. I hope these are just a passing fad, because they are kind of annoying (a lot like pop-ups).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightbox_(JavaScript)
Banners, like you get at the top of Stack Overflow to tell you about badges, comments, see the FAQ if you're a new user are my favorite. They don't really get in the way and can link to the main content.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Pop-ups are completely acceptable in certain contexts. The aversion to pop-ups arose from having pop-up foisted on users in the form of advertisements. I think that pop-ups are still a valid device in the correct case.
My rule of thumb is to not make any decisions for the user that they can make themselves. This typically includes opening a pop-up since they could right-click and choose "open link in new window" if they so desired.
Do you want to capture of a piece of user input without allowing any further interaction? A modal dialog is your friend.
there are cases where you want to offer a bit of useful info or a quick reference that doesn't necessitate closing off the rest of the web page or navigating to a different location. This could be addressed using some javascript and floating div's but many times a pop-up will do what you want without being obtrusive to a user.
I tend to read resources from the likes of 37 signals and UIE to keep up with the best ways to enhance user experience without alienating a user.
