An <item> element doesn't do any selection. It merely stores items. As such it does not have anything like a "current item" it could tell you.

You need to access the property of the element that actually does the selection, here the <text> element that *uses* the items defined in your <item> element. It will tell you the currently selected item via its currentitem property.

Thank you for your answer, but apparently I asked the wrong question because it does not help me =(
Here is what I want to do: I have 20 Stimuli stored in an item that shall be presented in a random order. So far everything works fine. However I have a second Item also containing 20 Stimuli that are one-to-one matches to the Stimuli in the first Item. What I like inquisit to do, is to present the matching stimulus from the second list in case the answer to the corresponding stimulus from the first list is correct. But I'm stuck with the assignment.
I would appreciate it very much, if you could help me on this one.
