Going back button (with html)

Hey guys,

I'm just setting up a questionnaire to run online via OSWeb. It's basically a series of inline_html items. Now I'm trying to enable the possibility for participants to move back to the previous block of questions using a "return" button. Since I don't have too much HTML experience (especially not with the interconnection with OS) I wondered if anyone has a solution on how to implement such an element? It should also appear just like the usual: <input type="submit" value="">-button

Also, if there is no direct HTML solution, does anyone know of how to manipulate the flow in OS so that it would be possible to jump to previous elements.

If possible, it would be perfect when previous answers would be saved and be visible for participants when they return to a previous item.


Kind regards,

Leo :)

  • Hi Leo,

    I'm not an expert in OSWeb/OpenSesame, but I know some things about JATOS. If you intend to run your experiment on JATOS, you can divide it into several components in JATOS. Each component is basically its own webpage and this would allow you to facilitate the browser's back button (the button everyone is familiar with for this purpose) for going back to earlier blocks of questions. Each block of questions would be a component within a JATOS study.

    Best,
