Allowing liveSend on other pages

[Max R. P. Grossmann]

Hi all,

Is there a way to allow liveSend() on pages other than that which the participant is on?

I want subjects to look at a table that contains some input from other subjects. This table updates in real time. I want them to be able to keep this tab open while continuing with the experiment (the page with the updating table has target="_blank" in the form, i.e. clicking "next" continues in a new tab).

However, this doesn't work and oTree logs the following message:

Ignoring liveSend message from […] because they are on page Results, not ShowTable.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Max

They have to be on the same page, sorry. (Though maybe you can still JS to change the content of the current page so it feels like they are on a new page)

the idea is to make it more like a single page app. This can be done by tracking the state of the player in a player field, and just have a live method that can handle more cases.

Thanks, Chris. Would using an iframe be a solution? Perhaps I could target the form destination to live in the iframe, which lies below my table...

oTree is not designed for a participant to be in multiple pages at the same time (actually it actively resists this), so that may be a challenge.
