Hi,
I am running this experiment and some participants experience a problem with the blank function that I load at the beginning of the experiment
blank = sentence => Object({html:
sentence.replace(/_+/g, (t,i)=>`<textarea name='blank${i}' rows=1 cols=${t.length+1} style='max-height: 1.7em'></textarea>`)
});
Template("ansa_template.csv", row =>
newTrial("ansa",
newVar("ansa_1","").global(),newVar("ansa_2","").global(),newVar("ansa_3","").global(),newVar("ansa_4","").global(),newVar("ansa_5","").global(),
newVar("ansa_6","").global(),newVar("ansa_7","").global(),newVar("ansa_8","").global(),newVar("ansa_9","").global(),newVar("ansa_10","").global(),

).start()
So there is a text, the correct answers are loaded in the template, the participants have to fill the blank in the text, and I match them with the solution in the template and count whether the answer is correct.
I have a doubt about the timer, I have set it at 10 thinking that every 10 ms seconds the script checks whether the blank is filled, but some participants get a message to fill the blank even when it is filled, meaning it is seeing the cell as empty and it is not. I thought there was some error in the code of the text, but in the end, there is not. I think this happens when they are particularly slow. So I wondered if the timer that I have set is not ok.
I am not understanding if I should lower it (lower than 10), and it refreshes more times, or place a higher number and it considers a longer window of time?
What strategy do you suggest?
Thank you
