Slider tool

Mo — Tue, 22 Mar 2016 08:57:21 GMT

Dear Forum,

I'm an Inquisit beginner and would like to ask concerining my questionnaire and specially the slider tool.

1. I would like to set the starting tic point of the slider bar (to the first label). How do I do that?
2. How can I assure that the slider was actually moved? Every label should remain a possible response but the user should have moved the slider.
3. As I read in some older posts it is not possible to write some single letters or words bold in a slider. Is that correct? Is there any other possibility to highlight a single word in the silder caption?

I quess these are some ordinary questions, which are very likely already answered. Unfortunately I didn't found them.
Anyway I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!
Mo

Via the <slider> element's /defaultresponse attribute.

You need to set the <slider>'s /required attribute to true.

Yes, that is correct.

No.

<slider myslider>
/ caption = "Move it!"
/ range = (0,5)
/ defaultresponse = 0
/ required = true
</slider>

<surveypage mypage>
/ questions = [1=myslider]
</surveypage>
