Batch script work on desktop but will not work as a web script

I have batched together three IATs in order for them to be presented in random order to participants. This works perfectly when running on my desktop (either manually or through Monkey) but it will not run as a web script. I have not received any error messages but when I click on the link, the page only partially loads (e.g., there is an inquisit brand but there is not start button). Please find the script below.

<batch >
/ file = "RaceIAT.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_NAP.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_BOP.exp"
/ subjects = (1 of 6)
/ groupassignment = random
</batch>

<batch >
/ file = "RaceIAT.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_BOP.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_NAP.exp"
/ subjects = (2 of 6)
/ groupassignment = random
</batch>

<batch >
/ file = "BIAT_BOP.exp"
/ file = "RaceIAT.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_NAP.exp"
/ subjects = (3 of 6)
/ groupassignment = random
</batch>

<batch >
/ file = "BIAT_BOP.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_NAP.exp"
/ file = "RaceIAT.exp"
/ subjects = (4 of 6)
/ groupassignment = random
</batch>

<batch >
/ file = "BIAT_NAP.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_BOP.exp"
/ file = "RaceIAT.exp"
/ subjects = (5 of 6)
/ groupassignment = random
</batch>

<batch >
/ file = "BIAT_NAP.exp"
/ file = "RaceIAT.exp"
/ file = "BIAT_BOP.exp"
/ subjects = (6 of 6)
/ groupassignment = random
</batch>

This is unlikely to have anything to do with the <batch> elements / the <batch> script per se. You posted in the Inquisit 3 forum, so I assume you are trying to run this using Inquisit 3 Web. Inquisit 3 Web won't work under some current browsers (e.g. Chrome) because those browsers do not support plugins anymore. Also, Inquisit 3 has not been tested under the most recent Windows versions and OSX is not supported at all. If you find a compatible computer (running e.g. Windows 7) and use Internet Explorer to run the study, it will probably work just fine.

If you need support for current browser versions, current Windows versions as well as Macs, you would have to consider upgrading to Inquisit 4 Web.

Hope this helps.
