How to display an open ended box at the beginning of trial but text at the end?

Hi,

I am asking about other teething problems with my inquisit web 4 experiment http://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic17246.aspx and it occured to me the only reason I was trying to display video (which is causing problems) is that I hadn't found a way to do what I assumed would be quite an easy task. So I thought I'd check to see if the following could be resolved instead:

I have an open-ended question block that I would like participants to write for a minimum of 3 minutes: after which they receive some text that says 'please continue when ready'. Then they are able to continue. I have programmed it that they can't press continue until the 3 minutes are over.

<block open_neutral>
/ preinstructions=(open_neutral_resp)
/ trials = [1 = open_neutral]
</block>

<openended open_neutral>
/ stimulustimes = [0=open_neutral_text; 180000=continue_text]
/ mouse=true
/ position= (50, 80)
/ charlimit = 5000
/ isvalidresponse = [openended.open_neutral.latency >= 180000]
/ numlines = 10
/ linelength = 100
/ buttonlabel = "Click to Continue"
</openended>

The problem with this current code is that the open ended box only displays after 3 minutes (hence why I was using a small video that changes status after 3 mins) How can I get the open ended box to appear with the instruction text but then the continue text to be displayed 3 minutes after?

Thanks in advance

Please don't. You posed a perfectly sensible question and that's what this place is for.

Set

/ beginresponsetime = 0

in the <openended>.

EDIT: Added example.

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=myopenended]
</block>

<openended myopenended>
/ stimulustimes = [0=a; 15000=b]
/ isvalidresponse = [openended.myopenended.latency >= 15000]
/ position = (50%, 60%)
/ beginresponsetime = 0
</openended>

<text a>
/ items = ("Type something.")
</text>

<text b>
/ items = ("You can move on now.")
</text>
