Running experiment in external browser
Hello all,
I am new in developing experimental designs in open sesame. I have included form_text_input item in my study but it is not running in JATOS external browser. The error is coming. Can anyone explain any other way as to how can I add this item and run it.

Hi @Pallavi ,
Running OS in a browser brings the same limitations as using OSWeb. Several functionalities and objects are not supported when executing the task in a browser. In OpenSesame, open the OSWeb extension (Menu → Tools → OSWeb). The extension will perform a simple (and incomplete) check to see if your experiment appears to be compatible with OSWeb. Form_text_input objects are not supported in OSWeb, so you need to take text input using another method.
Have a look at these threads for information and examples of multiple-characters input using Javascript coding:
Works fine if you need some limited input form subject (like a subject id number) or small samples of text (e.g., word recall).
Alternatively, if you need a lot of text input or questionnaire-type input, another solution is to design that part somewhere else (Qualtrics, Lime Survey, etc.) and have it linked to your JATOS experiment using URL string queries to pass on key information like the participant's id. See these threads:
Hope this helps,
Fabrice.
Yeah.. Got it!!!
Thanks for your help 🙂
