/branching depending on participant input in dempgraphic survey

https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic12764.aspx

By juliane_d - 3/20/2014

I am using a /branch attribute in order to have one of two likert blocks presented depending on the input in a demographic survey (male, female)
Unfortunately, it always jumps to the male version, regardless the participant input. If I implement the same commands on /onblockbegin attributes, it funnily only jumps to the female version. Can anyone see what I am missing to get this to work?

thanks,
Juliane

You simply do

<expt identification>
/ blocks = [1=demo; 2=female; 3=male]
</expt>

with

<survey demo>
/ pages = [1=demo]
/ responsefontstyle = ("Verdana", -13, false, false, false)
/ itemfontstyle = ("Verdana", -16, true, false, false)
/ itemspacing = 4%
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ finishlabel = "weiter per Mausclick"
/ nextlabel = ">>> Weiter per Mausklick >>>"
/ finishlabel = ">>> Weiter per Mausklick >>>"
/ showbackbutton = false
</survey>

and

<block male>
/ skip = [radiobuttons.sex.response == "female"]
/ trials = [1-10=noreplace(male)]
/ branch = [block.male]
</block>

<block female>
/ skip = [radiobuttons.sex.response == "male"]
/ trials = [1-10=noreplace(female)]
/ branch = [block.female]
</block>
