  I’m trying to add a “Register” button to one of the pages on my blog. Pasting in the html for the button makes it appear in the “Visual” edit screen, but it doesn’t seem to save when I click update, or show up when I “Preview Changes”. The corresponding html code vanishes the next time I go to edit the page.

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

  Hi there,

  Sorry for the trouble! Can you send me a link to the page you’re trying to add that button to? (If it’s a draft page, you can let me know the title of the page and I’ll take a look at the draft.) That will give me a better idea of what’s going wrong with that button.

  Thanks for the reply!

  Sure! The page is published, it is this one: http://lornesbpesatellite.com/registration/

  The code I’ve got is:

  <form method=get action=”http://onestop.anu.edu.au/cfrstep1.cgi”>
  <INPUT name=TRAN-NO type=hidden value=200 >
  <input name=EVENT type=hidden value=”LORNE15″ size=30></td>
  <input name=SEATS type=hidden value=”1″></td>
  <input name=ATTENDEE type=hidden value=””></td>
  <input name=VOUCHER type=hidden value=””></td>
  <td align=left><input type=submit value=” Registration”></td>
  </form>

  Thank you for sending those details. :) The problem is that the code for that form isn’t allowed here at WordPress.com, for security reasons.

  You can use the built-in Contact Form to add a form to your page. Alternately, you can create a link to a form (like a registration and payment form) hosted by a different service — it just isn’t possible to embed an external form like that directly on the page.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
