We are using an online voting / poll service to get very simple user response stats (what do we want for lunch today etc.) – the service we use is www.smspoll.net, and it works very well, displaying the results in real time either on their website, or via an embeddable Flash object. I’d really like to be able to embed this in a message / comment. That way I could post a new message with the poll question, and users could see the results in real time in the message.
The sample script is:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.smspoll.net/js/swfobject.js”>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.smspoll.net/js/embedsmspoll.js”>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
swfobject.embedSWF
(“http://www.smspoll.net/polls/charts/20pTv7Jc6wOzydQ7k.swf”, “SMSPollChart”, “720”, “450”, “9.0.115”, expressinstall, flashvars, params, attributes);

I’ve read in various places that it is possible to post script tags in messages / to-do lists / overview page, but there seems to be no definite answer?

Hugo,

Perhaps just try an iFrame; that will display just about anything from any remote web page. Here is the formula:

<iframe src="http://elderforestpublishing.com" frameborder="0" height="135" align="right" width="315"></iframe>

This will take this page http://elderforestpublishing.com and render it inside a 315×135 window on your target page.
