Hello,
I am having issues with implementing slider questions properly and I don't know if what I want is possible. Specifically:
1) The position of the slider itself and the labels should line up
2) The entire question should be centered on the page but with a space between the question and the actual slider and labels
3) There should not be a random number "1" on the top left hand corner of each page
4) I do not want question numbers on the surveypage (i.e., no "1)." before each question)

Here is a sample of one slider question I have coded:

<slider neuroticism_volatility_1>
/caption = "Get angry easily."
/ labels = ("Very Untrue of me", "Untrue of me", "True of me", "Very True of me")
/ range = (0, 100)
/showticks = TRUE
/defaultresponse = 50
/position = (20, 50)
/txcolor = (200, 0, 0)
/slidersize = (50%, 50%)
</slider>

<surveypage question>
/questions = [1=neuroticism_volatility_1]
</surveypage>

<block forreal>
/trials = [1-100=question]
</block>

<expt>
/blocks = [1=forreal]
</expt>


Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

> 1) The position of the slider itself and the labels should line up

They do line up as far as I can tell, though perhaps not in the way you want them to. The center of a given label is aligned to the slider tick it corresponds to (e.g. the center of "Very Untrue of me" is aligned to the 0 tick mark. This cannot be changed.

> 2) The entire question should be centered on the page but with a space between the question and the actual slider and labels.

Positions on surveypage's are relative to the element's left border. With a /size (note: this is something different than /slidersize) of 60% (horizontal), positioning it at 20% should center it. You can include a linebreak in the /caption to get the spacing.

> 3) There should not be a random number "1" on the top left hand corner of each page

Set the <surveypage>'s /showpagenumbers attribute to false to remove it.
(The number is not random; it's the page number -- run several surveypages via a <survey> element to see this for yourself.)

> 4) I do not want question numbers on the surveypage (i.e., no "1)." before each question)

Set the <surveypage>'s /showquestionnumbers attribute to false to remove it.

<slider neuroticism_volatility_1>
/ caption = "Get angry easily.~n"
/ labels = ("Very Untrue of me", "Untrue of me", "True of me", "Very True of me")
/ range = (0, 100)
/showticks = TRUE
/defaultresponse = 50
/position = (20%, 50%)
/txcolor = (200, 0, 0)
/slidersize = (50%, 25%)
/ size = (60%, 25%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%)
</slider>

<surveypage question>
/questions = [1=neuroticism_volatility_1]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<block forreal>
/trials = [1=question]
</block>

<expt>
/blocks = [1=forreal]
</expt>

Hope this helps.
