Hi!
I have a problem with the textbox element of the "other" attribute in a checkbox element.
I want to have an option for entering free text in the case there is no appropriate choice in the predetermined options.
The problem is the textfield for entering text is anywhere else on the screen, but not beside the check option. This way the textbos is not useable.
I tried to define the position of the textbox on the screen, but this didn't work.
For help I would be very grateful!

The position of the "other" textbox implicitly depends on the length of the options listed in the /options attribute. Since those are quite long in your case, the box is pushed out far to the right side of the screen. There is a way to work around this by setting the options via /ontrialbegin instead of listing them directly:

Thanks for the reply, but it looks like it doesn't work for me.
I think the point is this: The "other" option depends on the listed options as you said. In the link you posted, the problem was a long expression, but the readable answers where short.
in my case the answers to read are to long. so even if i build the thing on "/ontrialbegin", the items used are still too long.
___________
<surveypage pg1>
/ ontrialbegin = [radiobuttons.rb1.option.1 = getitem(counter.option1,1)]
/ ontrialbegin = [radiobuttons.rb1.option.2 = getitem(counter.option1,2)]
/ ontrialbegin = [radiobuttons.rb1.option.3 = getitem(counter.option1,3)]
/ questions = [1=rb1]
/ showpagenumbers = false
</surveypage>
<radiobuttons rb1>
/ caption = "A caption"
/ options = ("", "", "",)
/ other = "other"
/ position = (10%, 10%)
/ size = (45%, 38%)
/ orientation = vertical
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>
<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=pg1]
</block>
<counter option1>
/ items = ("A", "B", "Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc")
/ select = noreplace
</counter>

Yes, you're right. Sorry for missing that. Then the only immediate workaround I can think of is to use a separate <textbox> as in in:
<surveypage pg1>
/ questions = [1=cb1; 2=tb1]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ branch = [if (checkboxes.cb1.checked.4==true && textbox.tb1.response=="") surveypage.pg1]
</surveypage>
<checkboxes cb1>
/ caption = "A caption"
/ options = ("AAAAAAAAAA", "BBBBBBBBBBB", "CCCCCCCCCCC", "OTHER")
/ size = (45%, 38%)
/ orientation = vertical
/ required = true
</checkboxes>
<textbox tb1>
/ caption = "If you selected OTHER, please fill in this box:"
/ required = false
</textbox>
<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=pg1]
</block>
