Hi Daniela,
Removing the Canvas element from the page does not disable the Selector element: it is still active, even if the elements it contains are not visible on the page
Here’s an edited version of your code. Most of the edits are aesthetic; the crucial bit is the default .once() on the Selector elements, which prevents them from continuing to record keypresses after the initial choice:
Template(
GetTable( "stimuli.csv")// change this line for the appropriate experimental list
.filter("type" , "critical")
.filter("lifetime" , /^(dead|alive)$/)
,
variable => newTrial( "post_task" ,
defaultText
.css({"font-family":"courier","font-size":"25px"})
.center()
,
defaultSelector
.once()
.log()
,
defaultCanvas
.log()
.center()
// NEW TEXT
,
newText("post_name", variable.name)
,
newText("occupation_correct", variable.occupation)
,
newText("occupation_incorrect", variable.occupation_distractor)
,
newText("nationality_correct", variable.nationality)
,
newText("nationality_incorrect", variable.nationality_distractor)
,
newText("lifetime_correct", variable.lifetime)
,
newText("lifetime_incorrect", variable.lifetime_distractor)
