Hello all

I am attempting to merge two different IATs into the same .iqt so that respondents do one and then the other.

I would like to have a second set of instructions after the first IAT. Is this possible? (I note they are called preinstructions so I'm sceptical).

Am I right in thinking having the instructions as an image file and then creating a block that just displays the image is a work around (though not as flexible clearly)?

I hope I've explained what I am trying to do well and thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer. 

Kind regards,

Daniel

Every <block> element has the capability to present pre- and postinstructions, so you can definitely do that without any issue whatsoever. Just insert a new instructions block after the first IAT and have that present the respective instruction pages (page or htmlpage elements).

Generally see https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/howto/multiplescripts.htm

I'll note that typically running the two IATs back to back via a <batch> script instead of merging them into a single script is the easier and more convenient option.

Many thanks for the reply Dave. I don't have any spare web licenses at the moment so need to merge them really because I can't upload any more scripts. 

How do I tell a block to use an html instructions page? If I can do that then I can just have a block that is just the html instructions page in between the normal IAT blocks. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
