IAT Instruction Page - Breaking Between Inquisite Lab and Inquisite Web

https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic35633.aspx

Hi everyone,

I've hit a bit of an issue where I have an IAT created using Inquisite Lab that works perfectly, but when I upload it to test using Inquisite Web, which is how participants will do it, the images show boxes with question marks but then work perfectly fine when you advance to the actual IAT.

See screenshots of what the instruction sheet looks like and what the IAT looks.

Any suggestions on what I could do or why this is happening?

Thanks!

You will need to enter the image file names in all lowercase letters in the script's <item> elements for them to be able to be displayed properly on the instruction pages.

I.e.

<item targetA>
/ 1 = "wmuc.jpg"
/ 2 = "wfuc.jpg"
/ 4 = "bmuc.jpg"
/ 5 = "bfuc.jpg"
</item>

...

<item targetB>
/ 1 = "wmwc.jpg"
/ 2 = "wfwc.jpg"
/ 4 = "bmwc.jpg"
/ 5 = "bfwc.jpg"
</item>


instead of

<item targetA>
/ 1 = "WMUC.jpg"
/ 2 = "WFUC.jpg"
/ 4 = "BMUC.jpg"
/ 5 = "BFUC.jpg"
</item>

...

<item targetB>
/ 1 = "WMWC.jpg"
/ 2 = "WFWC.jpg"
/ 4 = "BMWC.jpg"
/ 5 = "BFWC.jpg"
</item>


(The background is that file names are always converted to all lowercase when uploading files to the web; this is done for cross-platform compatibility reasons.)
