    custom item data recording (case 11827)

    Hi there,
    I have a minor problem with data being recorded from a custom html item. Instead of just recording the numerical value in the excel file, it is recording variable name = then the numerical data. For example, if my item name is attitude, in the data file it will say attitude_01= 2 under attitude_01, and attitude_02 = 4 under attitude_02. This is not what I want, I simply would like the numerical value (so under attitude_01 just a 2). I have not had this problem with other custom items so I'm wondering what I've done wrong here. Help is appreciated! :-)

    Hi caram,

    Can you please upload a copy of your htm file as well as your .que and .exp files? I will be happy to take a look at them.

    You can try creating additional custom items in your questionnaire with the additional HTML form variable names you want to keep. If you do not include a filename for the items, then MediaLab will know they are just placeholders for additional variables. See this discussion thread on the Empirisoft support forum for an example using custom items that have multiple variables that use radio buttons, similar to your files: http://www.empirisoft.com/support/sh...t=custom+radio
