  I have tried inserting custom html into the “arbitrary text/html” widget, and some will not convert. For example, most recently I have tried to insert a customized survey made by survey monkey… and it will not show. Is there a reason some html code cannot show? How could I get it to show? this is the code I’m wanting to use:
  <div id=”surveyMonkeyInfo”><div><script src=”http://www.surveymonkey.com/jsEmbed.aspx?sm=CtrC2xFNrRxYFm0g1sHGTA_3d_3d”> </script></div>Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world’s leading questionnaire tool.</div>

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

  WordPress.com strips out script tags for security reason. Please see the Code page for full list of allowed tags.

  You can try linking to the survey as a regular link, but embed through JavaScript is not allowed.

  Is there any way I could get around this so I can use this survey for our site?

  If you can get plain html code things would work – it looks like Poll Daddy has a similar plans to Survey Monkey and Poll Daddy is part of WordPress so it will work with WordPress. Poll Daddy does both Polls and Surveys.

  Why don’t you just post a LINK to the Survey Monkey page and have it open in a new window? People do that all the time.
