I am pretesting my script on the web. In the survey portion, I have about 8 items per page. All 8 items show up on a 15 inch monitor, but on smaller monitors, only 6 of the items can be seen. The other two items on the page are at the bottom of the screen where they are not visible. I would have thought that one could scroll down to see the rest of the items in such a situation, but there seems to be no scross bar anywhere. Is there a way to add a scroll bar or do I just have to figure out what the maximum number of items are per page on the smallest computer screens?  I have no way of knowing what size monitor any given participant might be using.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'll put scrolling survey pages on the list for a future release.

In the meantime, you should specify all font sizes and positions in terms of % of the screen. If you do this, the survey will scale depending on the screen resolution, and you shouldn't have any items offscreen.

Thank you Sean. Using percentages worked for the questionnaire items, but I can't seem to get it to work for the filler pages where I just have one line in the middle of the page between tasks.  Can you take a look at the script below and tell me how I can center the line in the middle of the screen for any screen?

 

<item prerat>
/ 1 = "まず創造性テストから初めてもらいます。実験者の指示に従ってください。"

</item>

<text prerat>
/ items = prerat
/ hjustify = left
/ size = (90%, 60%)
/ font = ("ＭＳ Ｐゴシック", 25, 700, 128, 36)
/ position = (55%, 110%)
/ valign = bottom
/ select = prerat
</text>

 

First, remove the /size command, since you would only need that if you wanted the text to wrap across two lines.

Next, set / position = (50%, 50%)

Finally, remove the hjustify and valign commands.

That will present a single line of text in the center of the screen.

Thank you Sean. That worked great. Sorry for the very basic question. I do have one concern about updating script but I will post that in a separate, new thread.
