Blair, I have figured out how to do the transition from custom html to DRT (or whatever was wrong, is right now), but there seems to be some problem with one item. Our demographics item always appears twice. Also, not all data is written. I use one "template" and the ml.varname/ml.textlabelX/ml.questionwording parameter. Only the first item gets recorded though... why is that? I'd also like to know how to use Custom items that don't write data (like instructions). It is important for us that subjects think they actually are using the IE. So they should proceed using the well known buttons (and not the cntinue field of ML). Should we still use forms for that? Using the post or action tags? Attached you'll find an example experiment (or questionnaire). We are (as always) quiet in a hurry, so a quick solution would be very much appreciated! All the best and thx Rene
