Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 70	Hi there everyone! I am trying to program a generalized labeled magnitude scale in which participants have to rate intensity on a scale from 0-100. I want to use semantic labels at various points on the scale: no sensation (0), barely detectable (1.4), weak (6), moderate (17), strong (35), very strong (51), strongest imaginable sensation (100). So far I haven't found if it's possible to pin your labels to specific points on a slider/VAS. Does anyone know if this is possible? Kind regards, Daan

Kind regards, Daan If you're using a <slider>, you can do this by specifying lots of labels, leaving most of them blank and filling only those corresponding to the specific scale points you wish to label. I.e. <slider example> / labels = ("a","", "b", "c", "", "", "", "", "", "d") / range = (0,10) </slider> <surveypage mypage> / questions = [1=example] </surveypage>
