    I expect so. The webtracker writes data to its external file *after* a URL is left or when the item ends normally so that it can record the time-in and time-out. If the item were to be cut off prematurely by a duration command, I could see how the data might not appear for that last page. You could calculate the time spent on the last URL by subtracting the total time on other URLS from the total duration (e.g., 300 seconds in the example above), but I can't think off hand how you would know the URL if there were multiple potential locations.

    Thank you for the quick response.
    In case anyone has a similar problem, I decided to place a unique dummy webpage that redirects immediately to the page the participant was trying to go to. So if a participant clicks on a link they go to one webpage for less than a second which then redirects to the webpage they were trying to go to. This way I know which webpage they were on last and can still use the timer.
    Thanks again for the help!
