Important Update to Custom Scripting
SurveyGizmo's CustomScript Action now supports the LUA programming language. Visit our NEW Lua Scripting Resources!
Legacy Custom Scripting Language Deprecation Plans
- New accounts (created after October 29, 2018) will only have the option to use Lua in scripts.
- As of October 29, 2018 Custom Scripting Actions will default to Lua as the scripting type in the Custom Scripting Action for accounts created before this date. You will be able to switch to the Legacy Custom Scripting; though we highly encourage using Lua.
- In the long term, Legacy Custom Scripting Actions will be switched to read-only. The exact date on this is to be determined; we will send notifications well ahead of time.
We do not have a built-in feature for making an image disappear after a certain amount of time. This JavaScript will allow you to only show an image for a certain amount of time.
Check it out in an example survey!

Setup
First add your image element that you'd like to disappear after a certain time period. Next click Add New Action > JavaScript and paste the below code.
window.setTimeout("document.getElementById('sgE-2035686-1-2-image').style.display='none';", 3000)Required Customizations
Element ID - Change the first highlighted section of the code to your image's element ID. To learn how to find your element ID check out our tutorial on Finding Element IDs.
Timeout - Next set up how long you want your image to show for. To do this change the second highlighted portion of the code to your preferred timeout. Currently 3000 is the timeout for three seconds. This metric is measured by milliseconds. An easy way to calculate this is to times the number of seconds you'd like the image to show for by 1000.
Scripting and Other Custom Solutions
We’re always happy to help you debug any documented script that is used as is. That said, we do not have the resources to write scripts on demand or to debug a customized script.
If you have customization ideas that you haven't figured out how to tackle, we're happy to be a sounding board for SurveyGizmo features and functionality ideas that might meet your customization. Beyond this, you might want to consult with someone on our Programming Services Team; these folks might have the scripting chops to help you to achieve what you are looking for!
