Show mouse cursor during the whole experiment using OSWeb
in OpenSesame
Hi,
I'm conducting an online experiment where I would need the cursor to be shown during the whole experiment (i.e. even when the sketchpad has a minimum duration or a keypress is requested). Is it possible to implement this using an inline JavaScript? My attempts to do this have unfortunately all failed so far.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi @CarlaC,
The following method might for for you (I tried it and it worked in Chrome; I assume it should work in all browsers):
Insert a inline_javascript object with the following code at the very beginning of your task:
document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(function(node) { node.style.cursor = 'default'; });This should work whether you put it in the "Run" or the "Prepare" tab.
I attach a basic example here:
The mouse cursos should stay visbmle throughout the task.
Hope this helps,
Fabrice.
Hi @Fab,
thank you very much for that solution!
I have a sequence where there are 11 sketchpads followed by a keypress and mouse response with a 50ms timeout and 2 inline_javascripts.
The solution for me was to put the inline_javascript for the mouse cursor before each of the 11 sketchpads.
Best,
Carla
