Hi Alex! This card was more just a general question. Since there wasn't a proper border for that, I figured I'd just make the frame gold.

We've been using polls on Name That Card, and it's been going along great. This has involved sending people to a page where the poll appears. But it would be nicer to embed the poll into the comments section.

There is a script for this. Unfortunately, my knowledge of HTML is limited to what a writer would know, not what a web designer would know. Here, I'm going to copy and paste the script right in this dialogue box:

Obviously, not counting the since that's just there to show the script without it trying to do something else. Is there an easy fix to make this script work inside these dialogue boxes? Or is this a 'bad idea', I shouldn't think too hard about it, and instead keep redirecting people to the poll page?

Embedded ugh is even more ugh than off-page ugh.

Ugh.

Ugh. I kind of figured that was the case. But Weird Al once told me that it never hurts to ask, and of all the Boomers, I trust Weird Al.

For what it's worth, redirecting off-page seems to be doing rather well. So I'm kind of asking for a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.

There are plenty of ways in which Multiverse is ancient and outdated just because I haven't spent much development effort on it. But this is not one of them. I'm pretty sure that I do not want any way to allow people to embed arbitrary off-site scripts on here. easypolls might be just about trustworthy, but in general it's far too easy a malware vector. Sorry.
