Removing the Default Instruction "Press [Enter] for previous page"

Group: Forum Members Posts: 11, Visits: 71	Hi, I'm having an issue with the default presentation of the instruction pages. The pages are being displayed with two buttons, on the left: "Press [Enter] for previous page" and on the right "Press space to continue". The right button I configured and so I expected. The left button I did not expect, and does not even work (If I push Enter, it does not go to the previous page). How do I get rid of this? I have looked through the help documentation and could not find anything. Thank you. <instruct> / nextlabel = "Press the spacebar to continue" / nextkey = (" ") </instruct> <block PracticeERT> / trials = [1=PERT1;2=PERT2;3=PERT3;4=PERT4;5=PERT5] / preinstructions = (practiceVERT.instructions.page1, practiceVERT.instructions.page2, practiceVERT.instructions.page3, practiceVERT.instructions.page4) </block>

I found a workaround though: I put the window size to 115% (vertically) which moves the buttons out of the screen. It's not possible to get rid of the buttons by changing the labels, even if I put nothing on them they were still displayed, just as empty buttons.

Group: Administrators Posts: 13K, Visits: 104K	> The question was "how to get rid of this button". That's not how I understood the original question. The fact is that instruction pages allow for navigating back and forth between them -- that's why there ought to be two navigation buttons. The behavior of those buttons is configured via the attributes I mentioned.

We don't want the participants to close Inquisit when they are on the last page of their experiment. Another solution I came up with is to replace it with a trial and text elements with very long delay, but I am not sure if it works properly. Any other ideas?

Press TAB and then ENTER to move on." / nextbuttonposition = (110%, 110%) </surveypage>
