Possibility to Zoom in Picutres?

Dear all,

I tried to find an answer by searching the forums, but couldn't find what I am looking for, but if this has been answered before I am happy if you could guide me to the topic.

For a learning experiment, participants are asked to revisit text passages and tables in order to check their knowledge or to relearn something in a self-regulated manner.
We constructed these learning stimuli and made screenshots of each text passage and table. However, some of the materials are quite big and may be too small or obscured, when shown as a whole. So my question is, whether there is an option to present picture stimuli and provide participants with an option to enlarge (parts) of the screenshots similar to a zoom function that is quite common in presenting images on web sites (e.g., clothing on a web shop).

Thank you very much in advance

No, not really.

I doubt that using screenshots of lenghty and complex materials like that is the best option here. If I were you, I'd create HTML versions of the materials, and use the <html> stimulus element.

Ah, fine :) We had that first, but the options to "design" materials and use different formats, layouts and so on seems rather limited in html.

That's not the case, HTML provides extremely rich and flexible formatting and layout options.
