Since you did not explain in any way what you want the script to do precisely (how many trials, etc.), nobody can tell you what is "wrong" with it. It's not possible to infer that from code that by your own account is wrong / does not do what you want.

For the basics of setting up scripts, please first work through the tutorials in the Inquisit documentation. Then start by fixing the various syntax errors in your own code, such as the superfluous close tags

/items = ("4.gif","8.gif","10.gif","13.gif","16.gif","26.gif","36.gif","46.gif","52.gif","55.gif")
</picture>
</picture>

If you still need help after that, please articulate *clearly* and in sufficient detail what you intend your script to achieve and how you want it to behave.

Given that you have a total of 60 images and *assuming* that you want to display all of these *once* in random order (i.e., a total of 60 trials), your code should look like this:

i am new to inquisit and psytools in general.I trying to display a set of randomly  images with response option for user,also the response has to checked for its correctness .
i have written following code ,please tell me what i a doing wrong
