Hi there!
Some of our participants are experiencing a black background for the HTML instruction file we are using to introduce our experiment. The HTML files look fine when viewing them on my laptop and desktop computer (within a chrome and when using the inquisit app). She stated she has a Mac, but I'm not sure why this would be an issue. I assumed the App works without a browser, but could the browser (e.g., Safari) possibly cause an issue?
I've attached a screenshot of how it looks and here is the HTML code.
I would greatly appreciate any input on this issue!
Thank you so much!
Bryce
