Hello everybody,

I'm quite new to millisecond Inquisit and I need it for my research in psychology.
My problem is regarding to different structures of the codes of tests regarding the instruction page.

In Test 1 (IPANAT) the instruction page is via html (see screenshot 1). In the survey blocks section, the instruction page seems to need to further reference (screenshot 2), it works perfectly well and gets shown at the start of the test.

In Test 2 (a modified version of some questionnaire) the instruction page is currently done with parameters and text (screenshot 3) but because it doesn't look too good, I want to do this with a htm Link as well. In this test somehow the instruction page needs mentioning in the surveypages section (screenshot 4) otherwise it doesn't work.

If I now create a htm file and write the code exactly like in test 1 it still doesn't work, no matter if I paste it in the section (EDITABLE PARAMETERS) or (EDITABLE INSTRUCTIONS) (see screenshot 3).


Are there any ideas what I can do about it?

Instruction pages (<page> and <htmlpage> elements) are displayed via an <expt>'s or <block>'s /pre- and /postinstructions.

If you want to display an instruction page before a survey, you use the expt element.

<expt>
/ preinstructions = (yourinstructionpage)
/ blocks = [1=survey.IPANAT]
</expt>
