Thanks Dave. With the <html> element it now works!
The only way to display HTML pages in Inquisit 3 as as instructions. In Inquisit 4, there is the <html> element which allows you to display HTML pages as stimuli in a <trial>.
OK, I figured out that the window / frame size is set via the <instruct> command.
Hi there,
I'd like to use a html page in the middle of the experiment. The only thing I could find was the above use via the block element. Now I wonder: Is it at all possible to use html (htmlpage) outside of the pre or postinstructions and if yes, is there any way to increase the window size? When run like above, the page is shown in a small window / frame and participants would need to scroll. (I want to present a crossword puzzle, which basically is a huge table.)
Thanks,
Rene
You can simply redirect participants to the web location hosting your Cyberball implementation by specifying it as finish page in your Bean Fest web exp.
I see. Inquisit is necessary, because earlier in the experiment participants play BeanFest. I hadn't considered using an online survey package for the second half of the experiment, but it sounds like the ideal solution.
Thank you!
My question is: Why do you think you need Inquisit *at all*, at least for this web portion, given that (a) Inquisit does not record any data for instruction pages (including <htmlpage> elements) and (b) Inquisit does not have any magic access to whatever the respective web app might be doing (its data, results, etc.)?
If you want to connect data between the web app and other stuff collected via an Inquisit web experiment, you can do so by bouncing back and forth between the two and forwarding query parameters (see the "How to interoperate Inquisit with online survey packages" topic in the documentation).
I think that is what I'm going to end up doing. I had hoped to simply be able to pipe to the page to save myself from reprogramming the unique schedule of throws within the Inquisit Cyberball (or do you have another, simpler method in mind?).
Thank you very much for the help.
The page does not render for me at all in IE (no Inquisit involvement whatsoever) or other browsers. But: Why go through the trouble of trying to pipe it through Inquisit at all? It might be better (and easier) to do this differently.
This (or some close variation) is the link:

This Cyberball game has a complicated schedule of throws that I have already programmed in Cyberball 4 externally, so I would prefer to use this rather than reprogram the Inquisit version of Cyberball.
