Hi all,

I'd like to create a drill-down question in Inquisit.  I'm thinking of something similar to the drill-down question type in Qualtrics.  Basically, if you have a large number of response options in a dropdown menu, say 2000 names in a list, you can make the selection process more manageable by having participants first select the first letter of the first name, then the first name, then the last name.  I'd also like Inquisit to draw the response options from a .csv file located where the Inquisit script is hosted.

I see that there is a <dropdown> element in Inquisit, but it's unclear to me whether the options property of a <dropdown> can reference the results of a previously completed <dropdown> (i.e., the first letter of the first name that was selected by the participant).  It's also unclear to me whether Inquisit can populate the options properties from, say, an outside .csv file.

Can anyone give me some advice about this?
