  I am trying to make a widget that will allow users to sign up for email updates by providing me with their email address on the sidebar. I know I cannot use <input> tags in the text widget because of security, but I was wondering if <input> tags are allowed in custom-built widgets.

  Thanks.

  Markup can be used in text widgets, but you’re reinventing the wheel:

  How can I offer email updates?
