show_progress_bar doesn't show anything #230

Closed chanansh closed 8 years ago

chanansh commented 8 years ago

Hi, I added show_progress_bar: true in my init and I don't see any progress bar. What could be the root cause? CSS is added. Hanan

Can you provide more details about the experiment file? I just tested show_progress_bar: true and confirmed that it is working in a simple example, so there must be something about the particular experiment that is causing a problem.

Sure, here you go:

Haven't tried running this yet, but one idea occurred to me. It might be the result of not setting the display_element parameter in the init method. If that parameter is not set, then jsPsych defaults to using the <body> element as the display element. However, the progress bar is also shown inside the <body> element, so the plugins probably end up destroying the progress bar element inadvertently.

solved! thanks. I think it should be noted in the documentation.

Yep, I'll fix it so that it behaves better when display_element isn't set.
