There is no <trial> element named "BLUR" in the script you posted, hence the error message.

You should set up an <openended> element to collect the response and display the pictures.

Hi Dave, 

I have the same problem but I keep don't understand how to place a text box below a picture.

Thanks,

Mandy

<openended myopenended>
/ stimulusframes = [1=mypicture}
[...]
/ position = (50%, 60%)
</openended>

<picture mypicture>
[...]
/ position = (50%, 40%)
</picture>

Generally, I recommend you work through the various tutorials in the Inquisit documentation before moving on.

Thanks Dave,

But I really try since 1 week, then I try your solution and I still don't be able to join a text box with a picture at the same time.

Mandy,

Ps: I'm french ;)

Unless you can provide a way more specific description of your problems, I unfortunately don't see how I could help you at this point. In either case, I strongly recommend you (re-)work through the tutorials to get down the basics of Inquisit's syntax. Then read the documentation for the <picture> and <openended> elements and fill in the blanks in the example code I provided earlier.

If you'd rather work with <surveypage>s, first work through the "Demographic Survey" tutorial. Then see the documentation for <surveypage>, its /questions attribute, the <textbox> and the <image> element.

I want to have the same textbox but with different pictures. The subjects will have a picture an then will have to answer to the same question in the box. I have 16 pictures.

<picture Number>

/1 = "8.jpg"

/2 = "-14.jpg"

/3 = "52.jpg"

/4 = "-43.jpg"

/5 = "77.jpg"

/6 = "10.jpg"

/7 = "-8.jpg"

/8 = "-21.jpg"

/9 = "57.jpg"

/10 ="22.jpg"

/11= "62.jpg"

/12= "-50.jpg"

/13= "33.jpg"

/14= "-31.jpg"

/15= "-68.jpg"

/16= "-75.jpg"

</picture>

<textbox magnitude>

/ caption = "Magnitude numérique"

/ mask = positiveinteger

/ range = (7, 110)

</textbox>

#1: Your definition / syntax for the <picture> element is wrong. You'll find correct examples in the respective documentation topics and tutorials.

#2: For a simple setup such as this one, use <openended> as outlined previously, not <textbox>. If, for whatever reason, you *must* use <textbox>, you'll have to define <surveypage> elements to *display* the <textbox> and picture. For that see the survey tutorial mentioned earlier. Use the <surveypage> element's /questions attribute to display an <image> or use its /stimulusframes attribute to display a <picture> element.

Hi,

This is really not simple for me. I read the part of openenden , item, picture, in the introduction. I tried the tutorials, and read some "how to". I can present the picture alone, and the text box alone but not together.

I recommend you repeat that exercise. Don't just read or skim them -- *do* them., i.e., write the actual code by following the instructions closely. You'll see it's *really* simple:

<block MyBlock>
/ trials = [1-16=TypeNumber]
</block>

<openended TypeNumber>
/ stimulusframes = [1=NumberPicture]
/ position = (50%, 70%)
</openended>

<picture NumberPicture>
/ items = NumberItems
/ select = noreplace
/ position = (50%, 30%)
</picture>

<item NumberItems>
/1 = "8.jpg"
/2 = "-14.jpg"
/3 = "52.jpg"
/4 = "-43.jpg"
/5 = "77.jpg"
/6 = "10.jpg"
/7 = "-8.jpg"
/8 = "-21.jpg"
/9 = "57.jpg"
/10 ="22.jpg"
/11= "62.jpg"
/12= "-50.jpg"
/13= "33.jpg"
/14= "-31.jpg"
/15= "-68.jpg"
/16= "-75.jpg"
</item>
