Freeze/Disable Next Button on a Survey Page

Dear all, 

I have a problem with the next button on survey pages. I already read in this forum that I can't erase it from the page, it is always there. But I want my participants to spend a certain time with typing in some answers into a textbox before they automatically continue to the next page. 

This is what I came up with so far:

<textbox freerecall1>

/ multiline = true
/textboxsize = (40,60)
/required = false
</textbox>

<surveypage freerecall1>
/ questions = [1=freerecall1]
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ nextlabel = "  Weiter"
/ nextbuttonposition = (10,90)
/ showbackbutton = false
/ timeout = 20000

But the timeout only works as long as I don't type in something. As soon as I type in just one answer I can use the next button to get to the next page. Is there any way to freeze the next button, if not erase it completely?

Thanks a lot!

Jakob.

Your options are:

#1: If you want to keep using <surveypage> / <textbox>, you can move the button off-screen.

#2: Alternatively consider using an <openended> element instead.

Thank you Dave, moving it off-screen works perfect!
