Hi, 

I'm using the IAT work around tested on version 2.50 and working with the demo survey (Demo - IAT Concept (LS version 2.50)) ( www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M....29_in_LimeSurvey.3F )

I am wondering how to add a word (the same word for all people and trials) to appear on either the left or the right of the screen for different trials as below. 

 

Is this something I can do?

Many thanks in advance

Apologies, the picture from above is attached

Hi,
as "black" and "white" are constant and your "My Word" as well,
I'd just add it to the left label like
black<br/><br/>My Word||white||Drücke E oder I
 

Make sure that this line looks like this in your script? If there is .text().split..., change it to .html().split...

I remember that Tony initially used "text()" for some good reasons, and I changed it to "html()" to be able to have items in different colors.

No good reason.

Your change is a good idea.

@tony,
but - some time ago - when I changed it to "html" (because one of our users desired colored items) you explained why you used the "text".
Or is Mr. Alzheimer sneaking around my chair?

No, he was not. I found it.

By the way the reason that I used .text() in the workaround (and question theme) was to avoid problems with HTML changes in future versions.

Yeah, I think that was a general statement because at that time, with versions 2, 3 and 4, there were a lot of HTML changes made to the question structures, disabling many workarounds.

Thank you so much, Joffm and tpartner.

This certainly gets the 'My word' to appear underneath the 'Black' on the left.

Do you know if there is anyway to allow this 'My Word' to switch between the left and the right side?

What does this mean "to switch"?
When?
a.One respondents gets it on the left side, the other one on the right side?
b.First item left side, second item right side, and so on?

And how?
At random, or?

Case a. and at random you can do easily by using an IF-statement with a random number.
Like:
{if(randomnumber==1,"black<br /><br />My left word||white","black||white<br /><br />My right word")}||Press E or I

To align the right side add some css like
 



Other cases, no idea.

Joffm

Thank you Joffm,

Yes, it's option B, switching sides as the trial proceeds.

As a work around I'm now thinking of adding image as a way to get this same effect.

I'm adding an image into the sub-question as usual (below) but it doesn't seem to work.

 

<img alt="" src="/upload/surveys/941186/images/Image%202.png" style="width: 300px; height: 102px;" />

However, in this script above, the image load is not coming through (this trial just shows a blank).

Am I doing something wrong?

1. Of course you can insert images.
I showed this in another thread - search the forum
 
But, what do you want to achieve by that?
How do the pictures look like?
Do you want to insert the text into the picture?

 

Thank you all for your help

To get images to load using the IAT workaround tested on version 2.50 the code here was tweaked from:

// Show a word
function iatShowWord() {
$('div.iatWord', thisQuestion).text($('tr.subquestion-list.unanswered:first .answertext', thisQuestion).text());
startTime = new Date();

// Show a word
function iatShowWord() {
$('div.iatWord', thisQuestion).html($('tr.subquestion-list.unanswered:first .answertext', thisQuestion).html());
startTime = new Date();
