Slider size (case 17391)

The html is now reading the image name from the background field. However, now the "question" variable is not reading the question wording from the que file and I am only getting "ok" as responses in the data, rather than numerical values.

Disregard the previous post. I am now able to have the question wording appear and the slider values recorded. Rather than using the substitutions at the bottom of the html page, I simply replaced the variable name (i.e. question) with the medialab variable (i.e. ml.wording) in the body of the html script.

Good to hear. The method of using the substitution HTML at the bottom of the HTML file was an early idea that I didn't end up liking very much. I personally prefer the direct substitution like you described. We left the older method functional though just in case anyone still wanted to use it. BTW, if you think any other users might benefit from what you learned, feel free to attach a sample that illustrates what you were able to do that's different from the basic sample above. In any case, glad to hear it's working for you now.

I realize I'm resurrecting this thread here, but I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the slider so that it only displays select increments (i.e., 0, 10, 20, 30,...., 100). I know this is a javascript modification and I tried messing around with the setUnitIncrement and setBlockIncrement methods, but nothing seems to be effected by any of the changes I make. Any tips?

Hi, when designing my questionnaire, I used the example which was originally posted right at the beginning of this thread titled 'slider.revised' to create the basis for my VAS questions, which has worked really well. However, I'm not particularly computer-minded when it comes to editing the slider or handle in note-pad or using java etc. What I would like if possible is to have a thin vertical line as a handle to make the pointer as accurate as possible.

In addition, is there a way of having two vertical lines at the end of the 'slider line' to act as endpoints (I have attached a simple diagram in MS word to illustrate what I mean).

Lastly, for the text labels at each end of the VAS, is it possible that these can be positioned on the same line as the 'slider'? (Again, i've tried to show what I mean in the word doc. attached).
Would this require a completely new slider example, and if so can you help?

Thanks very much,

Jenny.

Just wondering if the problem with only an 'ok' response appearing in the data files instead of a numerical value had been resolved, as I am experiencing the same problem, and can't seem to find a solution on this thread? I am unfortunately under a major time pressure to find this out otherwise I will be unable to use the questionnaire if I cannot retrieve sensible results.

In terms of my last post, I have managed to find a way round my questions.

Thank you in advance if you are able to respond to this fairly swiftly.

I am also experiencing the same problem.
I would appreciate any advice on how to resolve this.

Thank you,
Tal.

Tal,

Could you please be more specific about the problem you experienced? Any examples of files you have would also be helpful.
