Reply To: Cannot getVal correctly

Hi Rick,

As far as I can tell, you don’t need a Var element to do what you’re after:

subjID = String.fromCharCode(65+Math.floor(Math.random() * 26)) + Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000) + 1)

Sequence ("experiment","bye")

Header(
  // ...
)
.log("ParticipantID", subjID)

// ... experiment

newTrial("bye",
    defaultText
        .center()
        .print()
    ,
    newText("<p>Thank you for doing this study!!!</p>")
    ,
    newText("Your participant id number is:")
    ,
    newText(subjID)
    ,
    newButton("void")
        .wait()
)
.setOption("countsForProgressBar" , false)

What you report is a known bug, I’ll work on fixing it for the next release (or the one after that)
