    embedding html from roadtrippers.com

    When I copy and past the code in the text format – I receive the link to the site, but a visual map should show up. Is there another area to past source code?

    thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    So depending on the code, it may or may not be compatible with your WordPress.com site.

    We have some info here on the types of HTML that is supported:
    http://support.wordpress.com/code

    If you’re not super familiar with that type of thing, feel free to copy/paste the code here, and I’ll take a look at it to confirm whether or not it can be used.

    If it can’t be used, you might consider using using an image to link to the external site. Also, if you’d like to do that within the sidebar, the image widget might work nicely for that:

    If you have any questions, just let me know how I can help.

    <script>!function(d,l,h,w,id){var a = d.getElementById(id);var ifr = d.createElement(‘iframe’);ifr.src = l;ifr.height = h;ifr.width = w;a.parentNode.insertBefore(ifr, a);a.parentNode.removeChild(a);}(document,”https://roadtrippers.com/embedded/trips/52ed16dc1be74af898000390″,”300″,”480″, “embed-52ed16dc1be74af898000390”);</script>

    above is the link….

    then there is “alternative markup”?
    <div style=”height: 300;width:480;”><iframe src=”https://roadtrippers.com/embedded/trips/52ed16dc1be74af898000390″ height=”300″ width=”480″ style=”float: left;”></iframe>

    what do you think? The first one show a with a text link and takes you to the roadtrippers site. But a map is supposed to show up. I need a page dedicated to a map that I would be able to update on a regular basis so people can follow along as the blog travels…

    Thanks for sending this over.

    So, these codes wouldn’t be able to be used, as the HTML script and iframe tags are automatically removed for security reasons:
    http://support.wordpress.com/code

    We do support Google Map embeds, but they wouldn’t really let you use the features of the Roadtrippers site.

    You might consider making a screenshot of your map, and then creating a link from the screenshot to the actual map.

    If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Okay and thank you . That is what I suspected. Google may have to be the answer…
    I appreciate your time
