URL of experiment: https://pavlovia.org/tzhu9/reading Getting this error when running my experiment online. I think it’s related to the textbox component. I’m wondering whether the issue has been resolved on PsychoPy’s end and if not what can be the workaround for this ?

I’m still using code for editable text but there might be some information in these threads. [image] Error with textbox: TypeError: state.toLowerCase is not a function Online experiments I think relevant?

I guess I’ll just have to wait for the new release then. Before that, code seems to be the only way. The TextInput experiment I tried, the backspace and space key only work once, and after that ‘backspace’ and ‘space’ would come up and there’s no way to change, did you have a solution for that?

Feel free to post your code so I can take a look

Anyone know when the new version will be released? I can’t recruit until January anyway…so I’ll prob wait. Just in case the wait is too long, @wakecarter can you share your code solution to getting the input textbox to work on Pavlovia? Is it a code-insert workaround? Thanks!

Hi @tokaalmighty , I don’t see any state variables in your code, has the script maybe changed since first posting this question? Thanks, s.

The linked experiment was only changed on the line that the error pointed to, AutoDraw, I changed it from true to false. Even though the error disappeared, the textbox is now unresponsive. I have decided to use code for editable text and thus removed the textbox component as it was faulty in some w…

Here’s the Python code from one of my experiments. Begin Routine modify = False displayText='' oldDisplayText='' event.clearEvents() cursorCounter=0 cursorVariable='_' textStarted=0 myClock.reset() Each Frame if cursorCounter >= 30: if cursorVariable=='_': cursorVariable=' ' else…

Hi @wakecarter , I have similar code and my editable text works good locally, but when running online, the screen always preserves the last key press, in other words, it’s not empty where participants are supposed to type into. Did you experience the same issue?

I think I have in the past, which is why I have event.clearEvents() in the Begin Routine tab.
