<surveypage demographics1>
/ caption = "Please answer the following demographic questions."
/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", -16, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ questions = [1=age; 2=sex; 3=Height; 4=Weight; 5=ethnicity; 6=race; 8=religion]
/ branch = [if(dropdown.sex.response=="female")surveypage.femalefollowup]
</surveypage>

There is no 7.

In addition *all* your /other attributes suffer from invalid syntax (as the error messages correctly convey). It's

/ other = "blabla"

*not*

/ other = ("blabla")

I am sorry, no need to reply to this it was actually in surveypage 1 not 7 :)

Thank you. I switched to Inquisit 4.0.3 and it seems to be working.

BUT I am still getting this error:

You don't (unless the respective questions are on different pages as discussed previously). However, note that Inquisit 4.0.3 has been made available publicly, which should fix the Mac /other attribute issue.

See the documentation for the various /fontstyle attributes.

Thank you this has been so helpful.

I do have a 2 followup questions:

1: How you you require the participant to type in the "other" textbox if they reply "other" in the question?

2: How do you make the font smaller on the page?

Thank you so much for all your help!

<surveypage mypage>
/ questions = [1=rb; 2=tb]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons rb>
/ options = ("A", "B", "C", "Other (indicate below)")
</radiobuttons>

<textbox tb>
/ required = false
</textbox>

Is there another way of doing it?

Because my participants are medical students and 90% of them have MAC's so the survey needs to work on MAC's.

Please advise,

Thank you for all your help!

Using the /other attribute is the correct approach. If you are on a Mac, that may not work in the current release due to a bug. It will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you so much!! This helped a lot but I was not able to get one of my questions answered:

Not with <likert> and <openended>, which are special types of <trial> elements. Instead you'll want to use <radiobuttons> and <textbox> elements displayed by a <surveypage>.

Radiobuttons allow for the "other" option but it does not have a fill in feature where the participant can fill in an alternate answer.

I have tried to combine radiobuttons and textbox but that does not seem to work.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Yes, a <surveypage> can do that. See the "Demographic survey" tutorial in the documentation for an introduction to those features.

Yes, that's possible, but only if the respective questions are *not* located on the same <surveypage>. See http://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic5461.aspx#5461 for examples.
