Hi,
I am using the textbox function and am trying to constrain the answers to be capitalized.
This is the current code, but I want to make it so that unless the answer (their first name) is capitalized, the participants cannot move on.
How would I make this happen?
<textbox name>
/ caption = "Please enter your first name.
Be mindful of capitalization."
/ txcolor = dimgray
/ position = (35%, 35%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ textboxsize = (25,5)
</textbox>

+xHi, I am using the textbox function and am trying to constrain the answers to be capitalized.

However, the much friendlier way is to simply allow participants to enter their first name however they want and then apply normalization to the response (e.g. toLower() followed by capitalize()).

Sorry, I am a beginner to Inquisit, so I'm not sure how to do what you suggested. Could you tell me how to code it

/ caption = "Please enter your first name."
/ mask = ^[A-Z].*
/ txcolor = dimgray
/ position = (35%, 35%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ textboxsize = (25,5)
</textbox>
