Going to the next screen using Custom Items

[kristen.wwu]

I can get MediaLab to view the first custom item I created. But when I hit continue, the same questionnaire comes up again. How do I get MediaLab to move to the next custom item?

Is it a problem with the HTML code I wrote? The way I set the questionnaire up in MediaLab?

Additionally, the data that is submit to my data folder is gibberish....why is that?

Thank you!

Hi Kristen,

Can you zip and post or send me a copy of the que and custom htm files?

Blair,
Here are the files you requested. Hopefully you can figure out where I went wrong.

Thanks

Kristen

ps: the HTML Files won't allow me to attach them, so i'll e-mail them to you

Yes, .htm files need to be individually zipped or contained in a zip file. Try this revision of the social support questions and see if it helps. If you are using v2006.2 or later, use a (v8) parameter to indicate you have 8 variables in the custom item.

What I changed:

• Made it do that there was only 1 form command for the whole set of questions
• Changed the name of each option within any given question to an identical variable name, such as ss_01. Radio button questions require that if you want to force a single option. I then changed the values of the options to "1", "2", "3", and "4".
• In the que file used a (v8) parameter to indicate there are 8 variables
• Used the variable name ss so that MediaLab would have placeholders for the 8 variables (i.e., ss_01, ss_02, ... ss_08).
