Going back from postinstructions

Hello,

I just started working with Inquisit and would like to get some help with a problem.
I'm currently using html pages as instruction and endpages. My problem is that the end page only shows a "next" button and I can't go back to the previous pages, unlike the rest of the survey. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the script or with the html page... Maybe someone here can help me?
The script is basically structured as followed:

<instruct>
/ nextlabel = "next"
/ prevlabel = "back"
/ lastlabel = "next"
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ font = ("Arial", -24, 400, 0, 34)
/ windowsize = (100%,100%)
</instruct>

<htmlpage instruction_IT>
/ file = "instruction_IT.html"
</htmlpage>

<htmlpage test_end>
/ file = "test_end.htm"
</htmlpage>

list of questions / trials

<survey IT_ZT>
/ pages = [1=IT_ZT1; 2=IT_ZT2; 3=IT_ZT3; ...]
/ nextlabel = "next"
/ backlabel = "back"
/ finishlabel = "next"
/ showpagenumbers = false
</survey>

<expt>
/ preinstructions = (instruction_IT)
/ blocks = [1= IT_ZT]
/ postinstructions = (test_end)
</expt>

You have exactly *one* instruction page in /postinstructions

<expt>
/ preinstructions = (instruction_IT)
/ blocks = [1= IT_ZT]
/ postinstructions = (test_end)
</expt>

so there is nothing to go back to. At this point the block is already over.

If you want to be able to navigate back and forth between your "survey" pages and your "instruction" pages, you should not use <htmlpage> or <page> elements via /pre- and /postinstructions. Instead set up additional <surveypage>s to display your instructions and integrate them with the rest of your survey block.

Oh, so that's it. Okay, thanks for your help. :-)


Incidentally, I have another question. Is is possible to work with subscripts in Inquisit? I have an item that should look like this:
 
<radiobuttons IT_ZT8>
/ caption = "Welcher Zahlenbereich kann mit einer Wortlänge von 8 Bit dargestellt werden?"
/ fontstyle = ("Times New Roman", -35)
/ required = true
/ correctresponse = ("1")
/ validresponse = ("1","2","3","4")
/ options = (" 0dezbis 256dez ", "00000000hexbis FFFFFFFFhex ", "00hexbis FFhex ", "0dezbis 1023dez")
/ optionvalues = ("1","2","3","4")
/ responsefontstyle = ("Times New Roman", -35)
</radiobuttons>

But I don't know if and how I can use subscript.

Oh, it's working now. Don't get what the problem was, though...
