Millisecond Forums

And another issue is that, for some participants, pressing the space bar as instructed did not lead them to the next page. I have checked similar topics and it seems that we are suggested to close other webpages and applications. I have asked participants to do so but it still didn't work for them. They have also tried to use different browsers. I wonder how to solve this problem. This is really disappointing and is interfering with data collection... Hope to get your help on this. 

Hello,  I'd just like to echo that we are also experiencing the same issue with checkboxes not disappearing after they are presented once in the experiment when using Inquisit 4 on the web.  This seems to be OS specific. It does not happen in Mac OS 10.13, but the issue occurs on at least OS 10.14. I've tried a number of different solutions (including that proposed here: https://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic26780.aspx) and I can't make it disappear.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it's an OS version incompatiblity as you suggest, it's unlikely that there's a fix, I'm afraid. The Inquisit 4 code base is past its update cycle (the final version, 4.0.10.0 was released at the end of 2015, the initial release of OSX 10.14 dates almost three years after that.)

Hello, everyone,
in an online web study I have a very similar problem. The built-in checkboxes and radiobuttons are partly not fillable for mac-users and remain in the background even after the execution. Is there no solution for this problem?
Or would it be possible to replace this data query with something else where no problems occur at the moment?

Any help would be very appreciated.
Best regards,
Djo

No, there is no solution. If you only require a single response (instead of select all that apply) to the given question, you can try replacing the <checkboxes> with either <radiobuttons> or <dropdown>.

The problem is due to capability changes in recent releases of Mac OS X that affect older applications such as Inquisit 4.

This is fixed in latest releases of Inquisit, so another solution is to upgrade to Inquisit 6.
