I'm having an issue with a survey page.
The survey page is embedded in a block with other trials (see part of the script below).
The issue is that the surveypage has a textbox.
Now, below the textbox a button is normally shown that people should click on to continue with the study.
When I test the study on Inquisit Web, this works perfectly. I tried it with all different resolutions of my laptop (1920 x 1080 --> 800x600) and only with the smallest (800 x 600) a small portion of the button is hidden behind the textbox (it is only a small portion so no problem).
So, what goes wrong? When I run the study with online participants, about 20% complain that they don't see the continue button, noting things such as "This page seems stuck I can't find how to move on now .". I asked some of them about the screen resolution and they seem to have the issue with resolutions that I don't have the problem with at all (1366x768). I'm in the dark about what is happening.
Does anyone know a solution here?
