&lt;p&gt;(2) Not sure I understand the visibility issue or what you're aiming for. I suggest you revise the &amp;lt;picture&amp;gt; element's /size and /position, as these seem quite odd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have the survey functional as far as choosing and displaying one random picture on a single page, but I need to continue displaying this same picture on multiple pages.&amp;nbsp; Essentially I want the survey taker to be uninfluenced by the picture they are being shown so I want there to be a random picture presented to each survey taker.&amp;nbsp; The problem is I have so many questions for the taker that they have to be separated onto several pages but I need them to be able to see this same picture on each page.&amp;nbsp; As of now there is a random picture on every page and the taker cant answer my questions is the picture keeps changing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Also my text is showing up behind the picture and I'm unsure how to make a textbox around it or whatever tactic I need to fix that visibility issue.&amp;nbsp; Any help on either problem would be greatly appreciated.&amp;nbsp; Below is my code for one survey page containing the random picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;picture targetA&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;/ select = noreplace&lt;br /&gt;/ items = ("pat1.jpg ", "pat2.jpg","pat3.jpg")&lt;br /&gt;/ size = (275, 225)&lt;br /&gt;/ position = (85, 70)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/picture&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;surveypage page5&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;/ stimulusframes = [1=targetA]&lt;br /&gt;/ caption = "X I X cut X these X words X out X.&amp;nbsp; In the survey this is a very long paragraph."&lt;br /&gt;/ questions = [1=q1; 2=q2; 3=q3]&lt;br /&gt;/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)&lt;br /&gt;/ showpagenumbers = false&lt;br /&gt;/ showquestionnumbers = false&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/surveypage&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2011 07:35:31 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>hwilliams18</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
