Mouse clicks not registered at screen edges in OSWeb

afkeve

Hi,

I've created an experiment with OSWeb where mouse clicks are registered.

I've discovered that if my cursor is too far to the side of the screen, the response is not registered.

These invisible borders are also characterized by the fact that at the sides, the cursor is displayed, whereas when the cursor crosses the border, it is not displayed.

I'm using the default resolution, and I've used this line of code to force full screen:

var elem = document.documentElement; if (elem.requestFullscreen) { elem.requestFullscreen() }

I hope someone can tell me what I can do to change this! I don't want correct responses to be counted as incorrect.

Thanks!

Hi @afkeve ,

Good question! I myself have no idea, unfortunately. Perhaps @sebastiaan?

Cheers,

Hi @afkeve and @lvanderlinden ,

OSWeb renders the experiment in a central area in the browser window, and the size of this area is determined by the resolution that you've specified in the experiment. The area around it is ignored, also when you go fullscreen. That's by design, and there's nothing you can do to change that. (Although of course you can use JavaScript to interact with the document object directly, in which case you can do whatever you want.)

However, maybe it's just a matter of increasing the resolution of your experiment so that it encompasses the entire that you want participants to use?
