Help with click map quiz svg

Submitted by jbro on December 4, 2025

I'm trying to make a click quiz on California counties, but I'm having issues when clicking on the wrong county. Basically, when I previewed the quiz and clicked on the wrong county, nothing happened. It didn't switch to the next option, the county didn't turn red, nothing happened. If any of you guys could possibly help, that would be great. This is the quiz

I've dealt with this problem before. I think there's a layer over it which is preventing you from clicking anything. I don't think it was possible to delete the layer, so I think I might've duplicated the counties, renamed them (for my personal management, but it might've helped too). Try that. Idk if it'll work.

Also experienced the layer problem. Maybe make sure the counties aren't all grouped as that may mess things up sometimes

Wait, so clicking the correct county works, but clicking an incorrect one on that question doesn't?

It's very strange and all messed up. This is the quiz

If I'm understanding you correctly, it could also be due to transforms. In click map quizzes, you need to click where the path is housed prior to any transforms. This means you need to get those transforms baked into the path itself otherwise you'll have to click where the path is originally located rather than where it actually shows up.

The thing is, I'm a beginner at anything SVG related and I don't have access to inkscape, so I would need to add you as a collaborator if you'd be open to helping.

I'd be happy to take a look to see if this could be the error (though it sounds like it may not be)

I'll collaborate it with you

Okay, so I took a look and the svg is pretty straightforward, so I took a look at everything I thought could be causing an issue, but nothing seemed to fix it. I returned it to its original state before I tried editing the svg. So even though it says last edit was today, I didn't change anything.

I'm sorry I couldn't help more.

I think that when you make the svg in inkscape, you need to assign classes to the wrong paths, and put that in the quiz.

Thats what i had to do, i might be wrong though.

I didn't make the SVG though, I copied it from the California counties quiz
