[open] multiple choice format: question and answer options cover each other

Cerniane

Hi all,

I am using the multiple choice option in opensesame with 2 answering options. However, when I run my experiment the texts runs through each other, which makes it look unclear. Is there anything I can do to solve this? Should I've put something in front of the multiple choice option tab? I also get the 'form title' text (even when I delete it) and it also covers the rest of the text, while it should be above the text instead. It would be great if someone can help me out .

This is the script I have now (for some reason it looks weird when I post it here, I guess because of the html):

set allow_multiple "no"
set description "A simple multiple choice item"
__question__
Take a 5-min break. 

You are now on 1/3 of this task; You still have 2/3 to go. 

It can be that you are experiencing symptoms (for example headache,nausea,sleep deprivation etc).  If this is the case, you can skip the rest of the task by checking the 'yes'-box. This will have no consequences for your participation credits (proefpersoonpunten). 

After clicking 'Yes', indicate your symptoms clearly on the symptom list next to you.
__end__
set button_text "Ok"
set advance_immediately "no"
set form_title "Form title"
__options__
Yes, I am experiencing symptoms and I want to stop.
No.
__end__

Thanks!

Hi Isabella,

The form_multiple_choice plug-in is a little different from the other form plug-ins, because it doesn't allow you to specify the form's margins and spacing. So to make sure that everything fits, you basically have to decrease the font size, which may not be very attractive.

Alternatively, you could implement your own multiple choice form using the form_base plug-in, as described here:

This will give you a lot more flexibility in specifying the appearance of your form.

Cheers!
