 HTML form elements (e.g. text input fields, checkboxes, drop-downs) can be programmed quickly: the essentials can be found on [[http://de.selfhtml.org/html/formulare/index.htm|SelfHTML]] (German only). Inserting HTML code into the questionnaire is quite simple with a text element (save the HTML code as a text element and drag into the questionnaire).
-The problem is that SoSci Survey does not initially recognize any form elements and the data they transmit, and as a result it does not save the responses. Therefore, it is advisable to inform SoSci Survey that certain POST variables should be read and saved in the data record. [[:en:create:questions:internal|Internal variables]] and ''[[:en:create:functions:prepare_input|prepare_input()]]'' are used to do so.

   * Enter a value in your form element and click on "Next". If you now click on the debug information (yellow corner at the top right of the page), there should be a note that the selected/entered value was stored.
-If you program more sophisticated input elements -- e.g. with JavaScript and/or Flash -- then, as a rule, you need to have hidden input fields to store the measured/collected values (see [[:de:create:break-counter|Note when Browser Window Changes]]).

 In this instance, do __not__ use the PHP function ''prepare_input()''; drag the "internal variables" question type directly into the questionnaire page instead. This generates hidden input fields in the questionnaire (''%%<input type="hidden">%%'') automatically, and their values can be changed using JavaScript. The HTML ID of the input field corresponds to the item ID.
