After the test is completed is there a way to redirect to one of two websites and can this be randomised so that one participant goes to one and the next participant goes to the other

Yes, you can set the URL to redirect to in your Inquisit *script* via the defaults.finishpage property.

Thanks for your reply Dave, I know how to do it for a singular url but can two be in putted to coinside with the block randomisation. I basically want one group to be redirected to one site and the other group to another

Yes, of course. Suppose you have two experimental groups, then you simply do

<expt>
/ onexptbegin = [defaults.finishpage="http://www.google.com"]
/ subjects = (1 of 2)
...
</expt>

<expt>
/ onexptbegin = [defaults.finishpage="http://www.bing.com"]
/ subjects = (2 of 2)
...
</expt>

Thanks Dave,

I want it at the end of the IAT so I take it I should use onexptend = ..........

It doesn't make a difference here whether you use /onexptbegin or /onexptend. You already know the experimental group *at the beginning of the experiment* and hence you can set the applicable finish page at that point.

Hi just a quick question on this topic, does the redirect only work with the web scripts or will it also work using the desktop version?
By Research316 - 10/10/2014

I also get this error - Expression 'defaults.finishpage' is invalid. Expression contains an unknown element or property name?

Redirection only applies to the web version.

This would either indicate you are using a different / outdated Inquisit version (e.g. Inquisit 3 instead of 4) or some other mistake in the respective code.
