Dave,

A collaborator has tried to use our script in the new Inquisit 7, but they are getting an error 'item' property has been deprecated, use 'items' property instead.  Is there a reason for this change, as we use the item property extensively.

Thanks,
Andrew

The technical reason is that Inquisit 7 adheres to and implements the JavaScript (technically ECMAscript) specification, and JavaScript / ECMAscript does not have collection properties.

That said, the script should still run and work under Inquisit 7 as long ias it is an IQX file written in legacy IQScript / IQML syntax (i.e. NOT in IQJS format and syntax). You'll get only a warning -- not an error -- about the item collection property

How do I tell what syntax my code is written in (it is a standard IQX file).

If it runs under Inquisit 6, it's written in IQML / IQScript.
