I have a list of 15 questions (likert scales) and as a 16th a textbox "Other" in which participants can enter other items: <block part_3> /preinstructions = (instr_p3) /trials = [1-15 = co_dependance1_l; 16 = co_dependance2_t] </block> <textbox co_dependance2_t> /caption = "Autre (préciser):" /size = (800, 100) /position = (50, 30) </textbox> When I run the script, I get the message: 'Could not locate element co_dependance2_t'. If I remove the 16th trial from the block part_3, everything works fine (of course the textbox does not show up). If this is not how this is done, how should it be done? Thanks!

To use a <textbox>, you need to put it on a <surveypage> (via its /questions) attribute. A <surveypage> is a special kind of <trial> element. Alternatively you can use the <openended> trial element.
