[solved] recording "checkbox" responses
Hello and happy new year!
I am writing after reading http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/forms/form-variables/#checkbox
I have a form with 4 checkboxes and I want to know which were checked (Allowing multiple responses).
I called the variable "Answer".
In the log file "Answer" = No.
Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Another little question: How can I align the columns in the text to the left?
here is what I wrote:
widget 0 0 5 1 label text=Instructions
widget 0 1 1 1 image path="[target].png"
widget 1 1 1 1 image path="[img_A].png"
widget 2 1 1 1 image path="[img_B].png"
widget 3 1 1 1 image path="[img_C].png"
widget 4 1 1 1 image path="[img_D].png"
widget 1 2 1 1 checkbox text=A var=Answer
widget 2 2 1 1 checkbox text=B var=Answer
widget 3 2 1 1 checkbox text=C var=Answer
widget 4 2 1 1 checkbox text=D var=Answer
widget 2 4 2 1 button text=continue
Thank you so much!!

Hi Labovich,
I'm unable to reproduce this problem when i copy your
form, so in essence you're not doing anything wrong. The only solution i can think of is the obvious one: did you log all variables in your logger item and, if so, have you tried manually adding your Answer variable in the logger item?If you add
center=Falsein your text widget the text will be alligned to the leftLet me know if it works,

Thanks Laurent!
It didn't record because for some reason the order of the logger and the form changed. Now it's working great!
About aligning - can you please tell me where exactly should I add center=False?
Thanks again!

Hi Tali,
The accidental switch sounds way too familiar
You can add the alignment into any text widget:
widget 0 0 5 1 label center=False text=InstructionsThanks again Knante!
will the same trick work for other widget, like checkbox?
As far as i know it works for label and button widgets only, the checkbox text is automatically aligned on my end
Thanks!
