&lt;p&gt;I would like to use an openended trial to let my participants write a short essay. However, I would like to disable the possibility for the participants to continue to the next page before they have spent a certain amount of time on the essay and I want to make sure they don't accidentaly go to the next page because they hit ENTER to create a line break. Is there a way to disable ENTER as a response that will terminate the openended trial (and use a timeout only)? It seems like this should be fairly simple, but I couldn't find anything in the help files....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's my code so far:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;openended selfdescription&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;/ frames = [1=selfdescription] &lt;br /&gt;/ mouse=false &lt;br /&gt;/ numframes=1 &lt;br /&gt;/ position= (50, 90) &lt;br /&gt;/ numlines = 30&lt;br /&gt;/ linelength = 100&lt;br /&gt;/ charlimit = 1000&lt;br /&gt;/ timeout&amp;nbsp;= 180000&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;/openended&amp;gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2009 08:52:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>subruck</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
