Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 15	Hello, This is just a simple question that I cannot seem to find the answer to in any of the help documents/forums. I have survey items using sliders; however, I want the slider position to be in between two numbers (e.g., scale from 1 to 6, and slider start position between 3 and 4... or 3.5). I tried to change the /increment = .5 and /defaultresponse = .5, but this does not seem to work. Can increments in the slider be non-whole numbers? If so, how do I do this? Also, I want their responses to only be whole numbers. So, I hope to only start the slider between 3 and 4, but I only want them to be able to report a whole number between 1 and 6. Is this also possible, given that my starting point would be at 3.5? Thanks in advance! Example item: <slider SDO9> / caption = "It would be good if groups could be equal." / labels = ("1~rVery~rnegative", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6~rVery~rpositive") / slidersize = (60%, 10%) / range = (1, 9) / showtooltips = false / required = true </slider> Tags default response increment slider

The above is not possible. You cannot place the slider on a value that does not exist on the scale as a response. The only thing you could do, is only allow those options that represent your "whole numbers" as /validresponse: <slider SDO9> / caption = "It would be good if groups could be equal." / labels = ("1~rVery~rnegative", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6~rVery~rpositive") / slidersize = (60%, 10%) / range = (1, 9) / validresponse = ("1","3","5","7","9") / showtooltips = false / required = true </slider> <surveypage mypage> / questions = [1=SDO9] </surveypage> <block myblock> / trials = [1=mypage] </block> This seems a bit awkward, though, and the other options will still be selectable.
