Converting Inquisit script to javascript

Hi all,
I am trying to find a way to embed inquisit scripts (Nback working memory task) to a survey.
The system that we are using can only read javascript. Does anyone know if there is any way that we can convert inquisit scriots to java?

No, to the best of my knowledge, no tool capable of converting Inquisit syntax to JavaScript currently exists.

NB: Usually you do not technically "embed" Inquisit scripts in a survey -- what you usually do is re-direct from your survey platform to an Inquisit Web experiment's launch page (and from there back to your survey platform if need be). As long as your survey platform is able to perform simple HTTP redirections, its other restrictions (e.g. JavaScript only) should not matter. You'll find this covered in general terms in the "How to interoperate Inquisit Web with online survey packages" topic in the Inquisit documentation ( https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v4/html/howto/interopsurveys.htm ).
