Defining a minimum time before continue button can be clicked

[sgm7]

Never mind, I see now in the help that negative durations are only allowed for instruction screens.

Anybody have any thoughts on how to keep them writing for a certain length of time, then?

Try the custom item sample that I've attached below and see if it does what you need. I created a java function that makes the Continue button appear after a specified number of milliseconds. In this case, 10000 (i.e., 10 seconds). It will use the question wording and variable name that you specify in your questionnaire. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

So glad I found this. I'm just learning how flexible MediaLab is with the "custom" option with HTML and Javascript.

Cheers.
