Hi,

I’ve created a simple script to capture demographic
information, as shown below. When I extract the data , the file also contains
the response latency. As I don’t need this information is there any easy way to
modify the script so that response latency won’t be recorded?

<dropdown sex>

/ caption = "Sex"

/ options = ("female", "male")

</dropdown>

<textbox age>

/ caption = "Age"

/ mask = positiveinteger

/ range = (18, 110)

</textbox>

<surveypage demographics>

/ caption = "Please answer the following demographic
questions"

/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", -14, true, false, false,
false, 5, 0)

/ questions = [1=sex; 2=age]

</surveypage>

<survey demographics>

/ pages = [1=demographics]

/ responsefontstyle = ("Verdana", -12, false,
false, false, false, 5, 0)

/ itemfontstyle = ("Verdana", -13, false, false,
false, false, 5, 0)

/ itemspacing = 2%

/ showpagenumbers = false

</survey>

Data recording for <survey>s cannot currently be customized. So, no, you cannot prevent latency from being logged to the data file. However, dropping the respective data columns you are not interested in is trivial to do in any data analysis application and can easily be automated.

Okay, thanks for the quick reply.

Dave,

Another issue I am having with this script - when testing this script on the web using Internet Explorer (version 8) the sex question doesn't work properly, I can't select an answer from the drop down box. Any ideas how to address this? The script works fine with Chrome and Mozilla.

Thanks again! 

This may happen when the ClickOnce launch method is used. Defining a proper /listsize for the <dropdown> should resolve the issue.
