Below are two examples of what I have. Is there a way to prevent the picker from automatically positioning at the middle value before the user interacts with the slider? Also, is there a way to remove the blue highlight?&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.millisecond.com/forums/uploads/images/cafbd9de-6cf1-4049-a83c-d495.jpg" alt="http://www.millisecond.com/forums/uploads/images/cafbd9de-6cf1-4049-a83c-d495.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.millisecond.com/forums/uploads/images/b7a55a40-35f2-484e-b204-ff9d.jpg" style="width: 583px; height: 316px;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:05:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>tianka</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Likert Remove Anchoring</title><link>https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic15534.aspx</link><description>Ok--thanks!</description><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:05:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>tianka</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Likert Remove Anchoring</title><link>https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic15532.aspx</link><description>With a &amp;lt;slider&amp;gt;, all you can do is place the picker somewhere else via /defaultresponse. It is not possible to remove the highlighting (this is true for both &amp;lt;slider&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;likert&amp;gt;).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you don't want either, you can build a "custom" likert scale using standard &amp;lt;trial&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;text&amp;gt;, etc. elements:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/v2/CustomLikert/customlikert.zip"&gt;https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/v2/CustomLikert/customlikert.zip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2015 03:06:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dave</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
