Slider size (case 17391)

[llw]

Hi, Thanks for your advice, unfortunately due to time constarints i had to go ahead and do the program using the long way (i.e. i have many different .htm files) it works fine this way. However, i may have a play about with the opther way of doing it when i have a little more time.
Many Thanks Again, LLW

Hi!
This slider works fine except two things:

Medialab automatically transforms all text to small letters. I cannot use any capital letters, not even to start a sentence. [note from moderator: see http://www.empirisoft.com/support/showthread.php?p=2971]

How can the indicator at the right be hidden?

Thanks in advance for a prompt reply!

Hi Jarvis,

I want to use a slider for my experiment. I have read your previous post but because I want to adjust the length and the anchors of the slider, I am asking my RA to modify it for me. He wants to know if it is possible to creat a slider using Java instead of Java script as he is more familar with the former than the latter.

Or could you let us know how to change the length of the slider and the anchor in Java script, if we use the sample that you've posted earlier in this thread?

Thanks!
Venus

You could use Java (or any method), so long as it can work within Internet Explorer and post the data using the method=post function. As far as modifiying the length, you'd have to actually look at the javascript code. I believe there are variables within the code that you can set for such things.

My RA has helped me to reprogram the slider with a Java. But how can I intergrate it in my MediaLab file?

Also, if I use the slider that you have provided in this thread, how can I change the length of it? You have described how to change the maximum and minimum, can you describe how to change the length of the slide, the anchors in two ends and how to hide the numerical value.

I have attached the Java applet that is created by my RA.

[a little bit later]

I have figured out how to add anchors to the end of the items. There are only two things that I need to sort out.

1. I followed your suggestions below and tried to show a picture in every trial, but it does not work.

2. I still don't know how to hide the nurmeric value of the slider. Here is my HTML.

By the way, I just checked the data file. What is showed is whether the participants have answered the question ("ok") but not the values that they have chosen. Have I done something wrong?

Can you please retry attaching your sample--it didn't seem to post.

Sorry. Here is the modified html. I have not modify other files.

It does not allow me to upload the html file as html. I have to change it to .txt.

I have attached the questionnaire file too.
