Radiobutton spacing and valid response problems

Jin — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 08:03:51 GMT

Hi Dave,
I tried the fix and it solved the overlapping problem, however the script does not see those answers as an valid response anymore (i.e. I can't click the next bottom to proceed to the next trial). I apologize for the re-post, but I didn't realize the original post was 6-months old.
Thank you!

<surveypage practice>
/ caption = "Practice Question: ~r
Which word best describes what the person in the picture is thinking or feeling?"
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
/ questions = [1=practice; 2=prac_radio]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ finishlabel = "Next"
/ nextlabel = "Next"
/ nextbuttonposition = (46%, 82%)
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons prac_radio>
/ correctresponse = ("panicked~t")
/ options = ("hateful~t", "jealous~t", "full of himself", "panicked~t")
/ order = random
/ validresponse = ("hateful~t", "jealous~t", "full of himself", "panicked~t")
/ position = (44.5%, 65%)
/ orientation = vertical
/ responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
</radiobuttons>

/ items = ("prac.png")
/ position = (19%, 20%)

You'll want to enforce greater spacing between the options by including linebreaks in the options:

<radiobuttons scenario_hotel>
/caption="Welches der drei Hotels würden Sie buchen?"
/options=("~ndirekt am Strand, eher teuer~n","~nin einem Ort ohne Strand, preisgünstig~n", "~nin einem Ort mit Strand, mittlere Preisklasse~n")
/optionvalues=("direkt", "ohne", "mittel")
/order = random
/fontstyle = ("Verdana", -28)
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage scenario_hotel>
/questions=[1=scenario_hotel]
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/nextbuttonposition = (80,91)
/ finishlabel = "weiter"
/ nextlabel = "weiter"
/ showpagenumbers = false
</surveypage>

Hi,
I have a similar problem with overlapping radiobutton responses.
Unfortunately, the tab-solution does not seem to work (at least it still overlaps for some orders).
Anything you can spot in my code that is wrong?
Or any ideas how I can solve this?

Thanks!!!

<radiobuttons scenario_hotel>
/caption="Welches der drei Hotels würden Sie buchen?"
/options=("direkt am Strand, eher teuer~t","in einem Ort ohne Strand, preisgünstig~t", "in einem Ort mit Strand, mittlere Preisklasse~t")
/optionvalues=("direkt", "ohne", "mittel")
/order = random
/fontstyle = ("Verdana", -28)
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage scenario_hotel>
/questions=[1=scenario_hotel]
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/nextbuttonposition = (80,91)
/ finishlabel = "weiter"
/ nextlabel = "weiter"
/ showpagenumbers = false
</surveypage>

Thank you for your fast response Dave!

You'll want to make use of the /optionvalues attribute to get rid of the "tab" character in the responses like so:

<radiobuttons prac_radio>
/ correctresponse = ("panicked")
/ options = ("hateful~t", "jealous~t", "full of himself", "panicked~t")
/ optionvalues = ("hateful", "jealous", "full of himself", "panicked")
/ order = random
/ validresponse = ("hateful", "jealous", "full of himself", "panicked")
/ position = (44.5%, 65%)
/ orientation = vertical
/ responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
</radiobuttons>
