I'm not sure whether I'm misinterpreting "does not run". The script works fine for me, i.e., it does run its blocks, trials, etc.

Could you please elaborate what exactly you mean by "does not run" or "(not) running smoothly"?

Also: Which Inquisit version are you using? (And: If it's not the latest Inquisit 4 release, update your installation, please.)

Dear Dave,

1. When I want to check the experiment in a test mode, it doesn't start at all.
2. It starts on RUN or MONKEY, but it reverses the block order (block 2 and blocks 3-5), i.e. instead of presenting block 2 it goes directly to blocks 3-5 and only after that it returns to block 2. I don't get it.

Im running 4.0.9.0 on Mac (build 2657) - I think its the latest.

Dave,

And now it completely mixes block order and runs whatever block it wants. No pattern....

HILFE!

Best,
Robert

Okay, that clarification (things run out of order) helps. Your problem is

<page instrukcja wstep EAST>
...
</page>

First, element names may not include spaces. Rename the page to e.g.

<page instrukcja_wstep_EAST>
...
</page>

Second, there is a stray double-quote in the <page>. Since the parser uses double-quotes to determine where elements and attributes begin and end, stray quotes will cause the parser to "not see" elements following the stray quote.

<page instrukcja_wstep_EAST>
...
[...] negatywnego (np. "diabeł”).
...
</page>

Notice that the quotes are not identical: The first one is ", while the second one is ”.

I.e, there is no counterpart to the 1st double-quote character. To make life easier for you in the future, please *always* properly escape any special characters when using them in <page> elements or in items. You will find this covered in the special characters topic in the documentation.

I've fixed the mistake in the attached file.

Dear Dave,

Let me call you MY MASTER from now on.

Thanks a lot - that's been very helpful

All the best,
Robert
