How to use magnifying glass with Qualtrics?


I want to implement magnifying glass logic with image in Qualtrics Survey.I tried some code but this is my first time trying this feature.


Solution

  • Replace all occurrences of '$' with 'jQuery' in the JavaScript.

    Question html:

    <div class="magnify">
     <div class="large"></div>
     <img class="small" src="http://thecodeplayer.com/uploads/media/iphone.jpg" width="200"/>
    </div>
    

    Question JavaScript:

    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
    {
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    
        var native_width = 0;
        var native_height = 0;
      jQuery(".large").css("background","url('" + jQuery(".small").attr("src") + "') no-repeat");
    
        //Now the mousemove function
        jQuery(".magnify").mousemove(function(e){
            //When the user hovers on the image, the script will first calculate
            //the native dimensions if they don't exist. Only after the native dimensions
            //are available, the script will show the zoomed version.
            if(!native_width && !native_height)
            {
                //This will create a new image object with the same image as that in .small
                //We cannot directly get the dimensions from .small because of the 
                //width specified to 200px in the html. To get the actual dimensions we have
                //created this image object.
                var image_object = new Image();
                image_object.src = jQuery(".small").attr("src");
    
                //This code is wrapped in the .load function which is important.
                //width and height of the object would return 0 if accessed before 
                //the image gets loaded.
                native_width = image_object.width;
                native_height = image_object.height;
            }
            else
            {
                //x/y coordinates of the mouse
                //This is the position of .magnify with respect to the document.
                var magnify_offset = jQuery(this).offset();
                //We will deduct the positions of .magnify from the mouse positions with
                //respect to the document to get the mouse positions with respect to the 
                //container(.magnify)
                var mx = e.pageX - magnify_offset.left;
                var my = e.pageY - magnify_offset.top;
    
                //Finally the code to fade out the glass if the mouse is outside the container
                if(mx < jQuery(this).width() && my < jQuery(this).height() && mx > 0 && my > 0)
                {
                    jQuery(".large").fadeIn(100);
                }
                else
                {
                    jQuery(".large").fadeOut(100);
                }
                if(jQuery(".large").is(":visible"))
                {
                    //The background position of .large will be changed according to the position
                    //of the mouse over the .small image. So we will get the ratio of the pixel
                    //under the mouse pointer with respect to the image and use that to position the 
                    //large image inside the magnifying glass
                    var rx = Math.round(mx/jQuery(".small").width()*native_width - jQuery(".large").width()/2)*-1;
                    var ry = Math.round(my/jQuery(".small").height()*native_height - jQuery(".large").height()/2)*-1;
                    var bgp = rx + "px " + ry + "px";
    
                    //Time to move the magnifying glass with the mouse
                    var px = mx - jQuery(".large").width()/2;
                    var py = my - jQuery(".large").height()/2;
                    //Now the glass moves with the mouse
                    //The logic is to deduct half of the glass's width and height from the 
                    //mouse coordinates to place it with its center at the mouse coordinates
    
                    //If you hover on the image now, you should see the magnifying glass in action
                    jQuery(".large").css({left: px, top: py, backgroundPosition: bgp});
                }
            }
        })
    })
    
    });
    

    Look & Feel/Advanced/Add Custom CSS:

    /*Some CSS*/
    * {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
    .magnify {width: 200px; margin: 50px auto; position: relative; cursor: none}
    
    /*Lets create the magnifying glass*/
    .large {
        width: 175px; height: 175px;
        position: absolute;
        border-radius: 100%;
    
        /*Multiple box shadows to achieve the glass effect*/
        box-shadow: 0 0 0 7px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85), 
        0 0 7px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25), 
        inset 0 0 40px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
    
        /*hide the glass by default*/
        display: none;
    }
    
    /*To solve overlap bug at the edges during magnification*/
    .small { display: block; }
