[jarvis24]

Wolud have to see the que and htm files. Be sure to zip them as the board doesn't accept unzipped html files.

Okay, I was able to fix a couple of problems. See attached files. However, the following problems still exits: 1) Because I want the slider output to be between 0 and 10, is there a way that MediaLab would divide the output of the slider (between 0 and 100) by 10 to give us the actual value?
2) The data file (.csv and .txt) in the folder named "byquestionnaire" to generated after running an experiment states "OK" for all the questionnaire answered and rest of the questionnaire variables have a value of 99. It seems that the software is not working properly.
Please help!

I have used the revised slider zip and that works fine but when i use it rather than some of the other rating scales you can no longer see the background image that i have specified and i was wondering if there was a way to remedy this? Ideally i would like to have the picture closer to the top and the slider closer to the bottom. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

You can't see background images on a custom item because they are behind the HTML. However, you can add the background image to the code in your custom item like this:

<IMG SRC="myscale.jpg">

or

<IMG SRC="<ml.background>">

In the latter example, MediaLab will substitute whatever you have listed in the background field for the current item. That can be a nice way to do it because you can vary the image without having to change the custom item file.

Hope that helps

Hi, Thankyou for your reply it was helpful- i do however have a couple of further questions- i apologise if this is simple html coding stuff that i do not understand...

Firstly the first piece of code works fine and inserts a picture i want, however i want to have the picture appear in the centre and i was wondering how to do that (i played about with align center and things and it didn't really work for me).

Moreover, i would really prefer to be able to use the second piece of code as i have 81 different photos to show and would prefer not to have to make 81 separate custom files, however, when i use it i just get a small box with a cross in it and i was wondering if i had to write something else to make it work- i would also like this in the centre. The photos i am using are bmp files.

Thankyou so much for your help...

Can you zip your folder and attach it here? I'll take a look at what you've got so far and see if I can help.
