Inline_html and logging variables
in OpenSesame
Hi!
I'm doing an experiment with OpenSesame and I'll upload it to mindprobe.
As far as I know, I can't use forms with OSWeb, so I used inline_html to ask for Age and other variables.
I attach the script I'm using to ask for age. Before this inline_html, I included an inline_javascript to start the variable age (vars.age = ' '). Then, in the logger, I could include this variable.
When I did the experiment, the script worked and I could enter "age". However, when I got the results, the column age is empty.
I don't know what the problem is. I hope you can help. Thank you.
Best,
Teresa

Hi @T_Q,
The solution is actually quite simple and is available in the documentation here:
There you find the following description:
"The attribute of tags corresponds to an experimental variable. Therefore, the text that is entered into the text input of Example 1 will be stored as the experimental variable ."
For example, in this very basic text input...
...you can see that the text input object has a name attribute: text_response. This ensures that the content of the text inputted by the user is thereafter stored in vars.text_response.
I made a basic example taking requesting the user to imput their age to demonstrate it:
You just have to add a name parameter as part of your <input id="ageinput" type="number"...> line of code.
Best,
Fabrice.
Hi @Fab !
Thank you for your message, and I apologize for cross-posting. I wasn’t sure if I would receive a response in the OSWeb forum, so I also posted in OpenSesame :/
Hi @T_Q,
No worries!
Glad I could help and that the task is now working!
Best,
Fabrice.
