  I saw a lot of threads on polls and it seems ‘luckypolls’ is supported. I’m not all that familiar with what javascript is but I read in a thread that wordpress doesn’t supported it here and that html is supported. Is ALL html supported though? This poll generates an html code and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with it? Thanks so much. :) http://pollcode.com/

  I tested it out and it shows the layout but it doesn’t give the option to vote:

  

  But it does at the bottom of the page give the code for the link that will allow your visitors to take the poll on another page:

  a quick review of all polling services compatible with wordpress.com

  different features provided by all these polling services and some others are discussed here.

  weirdscience,

  to answer your question, no, wordpress.com doesn’t support quite a few html tags – <form> tag is one of them. the polling service you were referring to utilized form tags.

  here is the code from a fun poll
  <form method=post action="http://poll.pollcode.com/mwP"><table border=0 width=150 bgcolor="EEEEEE" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td colspan=2><font face="Verdana" size=-1 color="Black"><b>How are you?</b></font></td></tr><tr><td width=5><input type=radio name=answer value="1"></td><td><font face="Verdana" size=-1 color="Black">Ok</font></td></tr><tr><td width=5><input type=radio name=answer value="2"></td><td><font face="Verdana" size=-1 color="Black">None of your business</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2><center><input type=submit value="Vote">&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=submit name=view value="View"></center></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="white" colspan=2 align=right><font face="Verdana" size=-2 color="black">pollcode.com <a href=http://pollcode.com/><font color="navy">free polls</font></a></font></td></tr></table></form>

  as nosy has pointed out, there’s an option to take the poll in their site. and you get that code below the first code.

  hope this helps :D
