What browser are you using? Are you putting the widget in place and then saving it before trying to edit it?

I can’t put text or HTML into my text widgits. I am using the Regulus theme. I used to be able to click on the text widgit and then add or edit text. Now when I click the widgit tab, I can only move the text widgit onto or off the sidebar. There is no way to add or edit text.

Am having the same problem on Misty Look template. I copy and paste html but it disappears when I save. Workaround suggested above doesn’t appear to be working right now, on either IE7 or FF 3.0.3. Help?

What is the HTML that you are posting? Please paste it here between backticks, those little marks on the same key as the ~ so it’s backtick, code, backtick.

I’m having the same issue that joncardon is describing. I’ll paste the html here.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertWidget.js?appId=7a37ef6e-e34f-47e6-aad9-653bc25eed40"></script><noscript>Get the <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/rating">5-Star Rating Widget</a> widget and many other <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/">great free widgets</a> at <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com">Widgetbox</a>!</noscript> -
That is because you are trying to use javascript, and javascript is not allowed here for security reasons.

Thanks for the information. Can someone recommend a place for finding non java widgets? I’m looking for something for giving books a rating (stars or thumbs up, thumbs down, etc.) TIA.

I have been trying for hours to add an online poll I designed on Vizu to my sidebar. I copy the HTML, go to Design, Widgets, add the text widget to the side bar, copy and paste the HTML code from Vizu into it, save changes. All that appears on my sidebar are the words Market Research and Opinion Poll, but the poll itself doesn’t show up. I go back and check that the HTML is in the text widget and only half of it is there. I see that Vizu is on other people’s sidebar using WordPress. What is going on?

Alright – I’m trying another rating widget – but getting the same problem. The site says it is html & compatible with wordpress. The code is below – any suggestions???
<!-- get your own widget at http://spotback.com --> <script>var sb_url_to_rate = "<?php the_permalink(); ?>";</script> <script>var sb_rated_title = "<?php the_title(); ?>";</script> <script>try { var sb_rated_creation = new Date(Date.parse('<?php the_time('r'); ?>')); } catch (e) {}</script> <script src='http://spotback.com/scripts/widgets/load.js?wid=32653'></script> <noscript><a href="http://spotback.com" alt="Rate everything widget"><img src="http://spotback.com/images/rating.gif?q=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" alt="user rating"/></a></noscript> -
towinblog – just looking at the website for Vizu, it says that their polls are interactive. I suspect it is using javascript to achieve that. If you are seeing that poll on other wordpress.COM blogs (totally different from wordpress.ORG) then please provide a link.

Oops — i thought this was a wordpress site but now i see it’s not. so are you saying i can’t use an interactive poll? or i can only use a Poll Daddy poll? -
You can check out some poll options here http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/tag/blogging-polls/
Whether you can use an interactive poll or not depends on the poll itself. For the most part, except Poll Daddy, interactive polls require javascript so the best you can do is provide a text link to the poll, so that the poll is actually done offsite.
Poll Daddy works very well here.

I’m having problems with the text I copy or write into the textbox. If i write a sentence, then click enter, so I can start writing on another line, or to get some space between two different sentences, it lookes fine at that moment. But when I save it, and look at the text-box on the blog itself, the space between the two sentences dissapear.
