Survey Question Formatting

Jolly — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 09:01:22 GMT

Hellooo! I'm new to Inquisit and for the experiment I'm trying to program I would like a survey that deliberately looks quite cramped. Therefore, I've been trying to find a way to display questions on both halves of the screen, but I haven't been able to find a method of doing that yet. Is this possible or is there some other way I could achieve the same effect?
Many thanks!

All survey question elements have /position attributes, which allow you to place them wherever you like on a given surveypage.

[code]<surveypage examplePage>
/ caption = "A surveypage"
/ questions = [1=a; 2=b; 3=c; 4=d]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<dropdown a>
/ caption = "Dropdown"
/ options = ("Foo", "Bar", "Baz")
/ position = (10%, 15%)
</dropdown>

<radiobuttons b>
/ caption = "Radiobuttons"
/ options = ("X", "Y", "Z")
/ position = (10%, 30%)
</radiobuttons>

<checkboxes c>
/ caption = "Checkboxes"
/ options = ("Cats", "Dogs", "Unicorns", "other")
/ position = (50%, 15%)
</checkboxes>

<slider d>
/ caption = "slider"
/ range = (0, 10)
/ position = (50%, 50%)
</slider>
[/code]

That works well, thank you so much
