Hi,

i recently switched from Inquisit 5 to Inquisit 6 and have some problems with the slider element that did not occur with the same code in Inquisit 5 (I'm using a slider with a range from 0 to 10):

1) The tick marks are not displayed even though "/showticks" is set to "true" (I'm using a white background).

2) When I click on the scale, the slider jumps to either 0 or 10. However, responses 1 - 9 cannot be selected this way. The only way to select the responses 1-9 is to click on the slider and drag it to the desired position. Is there a way to change this?

3) The response-values are not displayed below the slider, when it is dragged between the response options.

I would be very grateful for a solution. Here is the code that I'm using right now:

<Slider question_01>
/ caption="This seems..."
/ labels=("likely", "unlikely")
/ range = (0, 10)
/ increment = 1
/ showticks = true
/ required = true
/ slidersize= (40, 5)
/ position = (24%, 83%)
/ validresponse = ("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10")
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2.5%, true, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/ responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 2.5%, true, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/ txcolor = black
</slider>


<surveypage page_01>
/ questions = [1 = question_01]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showbackbutton = false
/ nextbuttonposition = (85, 85)
</surveypage>

Thanks in advance!

#1 is a bug and will be fixed in the next update (version 6.2).
#2 and #3 are by design (Inquisit uses a different framework for controls such as sliders, radiobuttons, etc. than previous versions) and aren't currently configurable.

Hi Dave,

thanks a lot.
Can you already say when update 6.2 will be released?
