Problem running web script

Hi,

I programmed and launched an Inquisit script using the web software. When I click on the start page from the computer on which I actually programmed the script, it runs. However, when I try running the script on another computer (Mac), I see the launch page, click on the start button, then a popup window with the Inquisit logo/info appears for about a second and then disappears. The experiment doesn't actually begin.

All the images have been uploaded to the server (twice!).

Thoughts?

It would be helpful if you'd post the link to your web experiment's launch page.

Thanks. The script runs on the machine you programmed it on because it references *local files on that machine*:

<item f_pics>
/1 = "/Users/zayas/Google Drive/Experiments/Study0_GenAds/Data/Female Ps_ad-screenshots_1-20/Participant 5_ad-screenshot_1-20/Participant 5_ad-screenshot_1.jpg"
[...]
</item>

Of course those file paths do not exist on any other machine. You need to get rid of the path, i.e. things ought to read

<item f_pics>
/1 = "Participant 5_ad-screenshot_1.jpg"
[...]
</item>

and so forth for each and every external file referenced.
