Why won’t this html code appear on my page?
-
This code won’t probably work (or work at all!) on my free WordPress blog:
But it does transfer over and properly show on a regular paid domain site hosted through WordPress editing.It’s for a customized web form from Jotform.com.
Here’s a screen shot: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/DiceDig/jotform.jpg
P.S.- The regular HTML embed code is the exact same.So, what am I doing wrong?
Do I need to change a WordPress setting to allow this type of formatting on the blog?Thanks in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The “this code” following the colon “:” was the actual code itself.
Obviously, it wasn’t formatted to show up on a msg board and I shouldn’t have pasted it in there. Check the photobucket screen for the type of code.

Script code is not allowed – it’s a security issue on WordPress.COM, you can do most anything you want on a self hosted site.

This is the support documentation link so you are clear on which codes the software will strip out to preserve security on this multuser blogging platform. Take note that codes for javascript, iframes, embeds, Flash and forms will be stripped. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
If you want a blog you can use such codes on then your best bet is to hire a web host and get a free wordpress.ORG install. See this entry for a description of the differences between wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Neat. Thanks aux and timethief.
Are there any other HTML formatting ways to embed the form that will work on my wordpress.com blog?
(I currently just have a URL to the form on my site, but would love the form itself embedded.) -

There is a plain text input form that is built in for WordPress.com ‘[contact-form]‘ on a Post or Page – sorry forget the fine points but I did try it once and it did work. No fields or anything but a way for visitors to contact you without having an email sitting on the web for spam bots to harvest.

The contact form has been updated now. Here’s the link to instructions. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
