IAT Face images pre-instructions

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well.

I was testing my script on millisecond web and noticed that on the IAT pre instructions, the face image do not show up. Instead, they are in the form of an error (see image below). However, when I run the script on my own computer/not on the web, the pre-instruction images appear. The problem only appears to be on the pre-instructions. The images appear during the actual IAT.

Any idea on what could be the problem? 

Thank you,
Juan

It's likely something like this:
File names are converted to lowercase upon upload (i.e. "Example.jpg" becomes "example.jpg"), it's possible that the HTML page can't find the images if you have the file names in upper- or mixed case in your script's <item> elements. Change the names in the <item> elements to lowercase and things should work. I.e., if you have

<item targetA>
/ 1 = "Face01.jpg"
/ 2 = "Face02.jpg"
...
</item>

change that to

<item targetA>
/ 1 = "face01.jpg"
/ 2 = "face02.jpg"
...
</item>

and so forth.

If that somehow doesn't do the trick, post the link to the experiment's launch page here and I'll be happy to take a look.
