Hi,

I am asking about other teething problems with my inquisit web 4 experiment http://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic17246.aspx and it occured to me the only reason I was trying to display video (which is causing problems) is that I hadn't found a way to do what I assumed would be quite an easy task. So I thought I'd check to see if the following could be resolved instead:

I have an open-ended question block that I would like participants to write for a minimum of 3 minutes: after which they receive some text that says 'please continue when ready'. Then they are able to continue. I have programmed it that they can't press continue until the 3 minutes are over. 

<block open_neutral>
/ preinstructions=(open_neutral_resp)
/ trials = [1 = open_neutral]
</block>

<openended open_neutral>
/ stimulustimes = [0=open_neutral_text; 180000=continue_text]
/ mouse=true
/ position= (50, 80)
/ charlimit = 5000
/ isvalidresponse = [openended.open_neutral.latency >= 180000]
/ numlines = 10
/ linelength = 100
/ buttonlabel = "Click to Continue"
</openended>

The problem with this current code is that the open ended box only displays after 3 minutes (hence why I was using a small video that changes status after 3 mins)  How can I get the open ended box to appear with the instruction text but then the continue text to be displayed 3 minutes after? 

Thanks in advance
