This is a (very) abridged version of what I have so far. I'm not sure what heading I can use for the jpg pictures when I get under the radio buttons, hence the complete absence of anything right now.

Thank you!

To display a picture on a <surveypage> you either need to set up

(1) <image> elements and display them via the page's /questions attribute or
(2) <picture> elements and display them via the page's /stimulusframes.

(1) is the recommended way, as (2) has some drawbacks.

I'm very sorry, but I'm not having any more luck than I was before. I've tried a few different ways. Under the surveypage, I've tried labeling questions as  /questions = [1=BNT;2=q1], but that brings up and error messages that says  image.BNT - items - Mandatory attribute is not defined. And of course, I need a specific set of radio buttons to match with a specific image file, but if I do /questions = [1=abacus.jpg;2-q1] or /questions = [1=BNT.1;2=q1] it says it cannot find the whatever I'm calling the image.

Also, i realize in my first post, I cited the wrong link as being broken. On the Test Library page, it's the link for "Create Stimuli from responses to a questionnaire" that isn't working.

The above is not a valid <image> element. See https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v4/html/language/elements/image.htm for proper syntax.

Also, the way to reference an <image> element in /questions is the same as with any other type of question format: You reference it by *name* only:

<surveypage BNT1>
/caption ="<%values.pageinstructions%>"
/questions = [1=BNT1image;2=q1]
...
</surveypage>

<image BNT1image>
/ items = ("abacus.jpg")
...
</image>

I'm really sorry, Dave, but it's still not working. I'm not getting any error messages, but it won't run at all. It opens the window for Subject & Group Codes, then ends and goes right back to the script when I hit "run". I started a separate script to try it out with minimal input and still have the same problem.

This is exactly everything I have:

<values>
/pageinstructions = "Please select the name that apply best to the image pictured."
</values>

<instruct>
/windowsize = (80%, 80%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3.00%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/ txcolor = (black)
/ finishlabel = "Press <Spacebar> to continue"
/nextkey = (57)
/nextlabel = "Press <Spacebar> to continue"
</instruct>

<data>
/file = "BNT_summary.iqdat"
/columns = [date, time, subject, script.elapsedtime, values.completed, expressions.totalscore]
/separatefiles = true
</data>

<defaults>
/minimumversion = "4.0.4.0"
/canvasaspectratio = (4,3)
</defaults>

<values>
/completed = 0
</values>

<image BNT1image>
/ items = ("abacus.jpg")
</image>

<radiobuttons q1>
/ options = ("beads", "Chinese", "abacus", "game")
/ optionvalues = ("1", "2", "3", "4")
/required = true
/orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage BNT1>
/caption ="<%values.pageinstructions%>"
/questions = [1=BNT1image;2=q1]
/finishlabel = "Next"
/nextbuttonposition = (60%, 90%)
</surveypage>

It doesn't run because there needs to be *at least* a <survey> or <block> element that runs your <surveypage>. Add

<survey mysurvey>
/pages = [1=BNT1]
</survey>

and it will run.

Hallelujah! Thank you so incredibly much, I know it must be a pain dealing with incompetent coders like myself, but I very much appreciate your patience.

Great to hear it's working! And: No, you are not a pain at all. So please don't hesitate to post if you hit another roadblock.
