Hi Dave,

Thanks that seems to fix everything quite elegantly.

Best,

Thanks for the script and screenshot -- that information is very helpful. Apparently there's something off with the internal page size calculation, i.e. it's not properly taking the button position into account and the scroll bar ends up effectively too short / doesn't scroll far enough to the bottom.

I think we can work around this by, for example, putting a small <caption> element near the bottom of the page (off screen) to act as spacer. I've attached a version of your script that does this. Could you let me know if you're still seeing the buttons cut off or entirely out of reach with this? Thanks!

Sorry realised I missed the script. Here it is. 

Hi Dave,

Attached is the script the issue is present on the ames surveypage (page 5) in the current setup. I should say that the problem may not be identical, In my case I can set the buttons to be roughly inline with the last question (in this case around 160% on the vertical) but but if I set it any lower (e.g. 180%) then the buttons don't show up at all and at 175% I can only just see the top of the last button suggesting the scroll bar doesn't expand to let me move down and see the button (see attached image). In addition if I keep the button positions at the horizontal location I would like (20% for back and 70% for forward) then the back button doesn't show up and seems to be covered by the last question. I have resolved this in the script by moving both buttons to the right (70% and 90% respectively) which seems to be a work around but is still a bit ugly so if there is a way to get the buttons positioned below the last question that would be really useful.

Best,

Can you attach the script, tell me which page or pages you're having the problem with and perhaps provide a screenshot so I get a sense of where exactly things cut off for you? Also, are you using the latest Inquisit version or some previous one (if the latter, please update to the latest version first). Thanks!

Hi,

I am having the same issue and was wondering if this was ever resolved.

Best,

Harry

Great, thanks! Just sent you a PM.

Thanks for the clarification! Huh, that is very strange indeed. Would it be possible for you to post the link to the online study here (or send it to me in a private message if you don't want it public)? Maybe taking a look at that will give me some idea as to why you / some of the participants are seeing a different results than I do. Thanks!

Nope, I believe you're understanding correctly!

I've tried a variety of values for the placement on the y axis (ranging from 90% to 500%, which should definitely be more than i need given that there is only one question remaining unseen on the survey page). If the value is below 100% then you can see it towards on the initial screen with scrolling, as expected. However, if the value is more than 100% I can neither see the button (since it is further down on the page), nor scroll down further to reach that button (no scroll bar appears), as shown in my previous image:

 

Interestingly, some of participants taking the study online do see a scroll bar, but the scroll bar will only scroll down slightly or not at all, as shown in the first image:

I don't know why, but adding the suggested code "/nextbuttonposition = (90%, 90-500%)" doesn't appear to affect whether or not the scroll bar appears. 

Hmm, the 130% for the vertical position were a guesstimate on my part. If the final (fourth) question extends vertically beyond that point, choosing a higher value (140% or 150%) such that the button ends up _below_ the question should fix it. Or am I misunderstanding your description ("... no way to scroll down to click the next button or complete the last question lower down on the page.")

To illustrate, here's how things should look / work with the next button placed below the 4th question:



Thanks!
