Dear all,
we want to program a rating-experiment: StimPic - one question - two sliders - two sliderpics as labels. Its solved with a surveypage. Problem is  "/ required=true" in sliders. If no answer is selected (sliders not moved) and NEXT-click, only the sliders and the caption (/ questions) are visible. The StimPic and the slider-label-pics (/ stimulusframes) are invisible.

What is my error in reasoning?
Thanks Guido

There is no error in your reasoning. In Inquisit 4, currently anything displayed via /stimulusframes on a <surveypage> is not re-drawn in case of a non-response and the screen updating it involves. The only immediate workaround I can think of is setting the screencolor to transparent (and back to e.g. white) as in

<surveypage spage>
/ ontrialbegin = [block.pre.screencolor=transparent]
/ ontrialend = [block.pre.screencolor=white]

/ finishlabel = "Next"
/ stimulusframes = [1=stim,prequest,par,pva]
/ questions = [1=sar;2=sva;3=textar;4=textva]
</surveypage>

which, unfortunately, may result in an (ugly) pinkish rendering artifact around the <slider> controls. Perhaps you can live with that, though, for the time being.

Hope this helps.

Have you found a workaround to this problem that doesn't involve the pink rendering?

Depends on what exactly you want to do. The easiest way would be to use <image> and <caption> elements displayed via /questions instead of <text> and <picture> elements displayed via /stimulusframes. The two approaches can be combined if need be for data logging purposes:
