Hi,
I'm having an issue with the default presentation of the instruction pages. The pages are being displayed with two buttons, on the left: "Press [Enter] for previous page" and on the right "Press space to continue".
The right button I configured and so I expected. The left button I did not expect, and does not even work (If I push Enter, it does not go to the previous page).
How do I get rid of this? I have looked through the help documentation and could not find anything. Thank you.
<instruct> / nextlabel = "Press the spacebar to continue" / nextkey = (" ") </instruct>
<block PracticeERT> / trials = [1=PERT1;2=PERT2;3=PERT3;4=PERT4;5=PERT5] / preinstructions = (practiceVERT.instructions.page1, practiceVERT.instructions.page2, practiceVERT.instructions.page3, practiceVERT.instructions.page4) </block> |

The attributes you need to define to alter instruction page navigation behavior are
<instruct>
[...]
/ lastlabel = "label"
/ nextkey = ("character") or (scancode) or (signal)
/ nextlabel = "label"
/ prevkey = ("character") or (scancode) or (signal)
/ prevlabel = "label"
[...]
</instruct>
details for all of which can be found in the documentation.

The question was "how to get rid of this button". From what I get, it's not possible with the parameters you described.
I found a workaround though: I put the window size to 115% (vertically) which moves the buttons out of the screen. It's not possible to get rid of the buttons by changing the labels, even if I put nothing on them they were still displayed, just as empty buttons. |

That's not how I understood the original question. The fact is that instruction pages allow for navigating back and forth between them -- that's why there ought to be *two* navigation buttons. The behavior of those buttons is configured via the attributes I mentioned.

You can change in using the command/ prevlabel = "the label you want"
If it comes up at the very end of the instruction pages, you can edit it with / lastlabel = "whatever label you want" |

To return to this question, is there a way to get rid of the before button on the instruction page?

No. If you want to prevent back-navigation, don't use instruction pages (<page> & <htmlpage> elements). Instead display your instructions using standard, <text>, <trial>, etc. elements.

My question is related: is there a way of removing/disabling next button on Surveypages? We don't want the participants to close Inquisit when they are on the last page of their experiment. Another solution I came up with is to replace it with a trial and text elements with very long delay, but I am not sure if it works properly. Any other ideas?

You cannot remove the next button on a <surveypage>, you can however place it off-screen via the page's /nextbuttonposition attribute.
<surveypage somepage>
/ caption = "The button is off-screen. Press TAB and then ENTER to move on."
/ nextbuttonposition = (110%, 110%)
</surveypage>
