Justifying text within a survey

Group: Forum Members Posts: 26, Visits: 194	Hello. Is there a way to use '/ hjustify' and '/ size' for a text within a <survey> or <surveypage>? I couldn't figure out how to link <text> to <survey>. (I want to use this page for instructions for the participants only, and so it will not have any questions. But I could not use preinstructions because it does not seem to fit in a block in order to add it to an include element later on.) Best, Ali

Group: Forum Members Posts: 26, Visits: 194	Thanks Dave. I wonder if you could show me how to do this. This the part I have now: --------------------------------------------------- <survey explicitend> / pages = [1=explicitend1] / responsefontstyle = ("Verdana", -12, false, false, false, false, 5, 0) / itemfontstyle = ("Verdana", -12, true, false, false, false, 5, 0) / itemspacing = 10% / showpagenumbers = false / showbackbutton = false / finishlabel = "Next" </survey> <surveypage explicitend1> / caption = "This is the end of this section. Please click Next." / fontstyle = ("Verdana", -20, true, false, false, false, 5, 0) </surveypage> --------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to apply the following attributes to the above caption: / size = (60%, 20%) / hjustify = center Thanks!

You need to either set up a <text> element with those attributes and display it via the page's /stimulusframes. Or you need to set up a <caption> element with proper /position etc. and display it on the page via its /questions attribute. <surveypage mypage> / stimulusframes = [1=mytext] / showpagenumbers = false </surveypage> <text mytext> / items = ("This is a text element on a surveypage.") / position = (50%, 20%) </text> Edited 11 Years Ago by Dave

Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 25	I have a question in regards to integrating text and pictures into a survey page, too. I managed to place all my material by using the /stimulusframes command, so text and pictures are placed above my <radiobutton> question. But If I now test this surveypage, I find that if a subject fails to choose an option from my radio button question, all the stimulusframe material disappears and only the radiobutton info remains visible, until the subject makes a valid choice. Is there a way how I can keep the simulusframes material visible, eben if the subject first fails to make a valid choice and uses the "Finish" button first? Thanks a lot in advance for any hint!

Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 25	Thanks for your help. I used your first solution for the text elements but didn't fint the <image> option with the options for radiobuttons. Could you give me an example how to include an image into a surveypage / radiobutton question?
