Vote Caster Poll Problems

I have copied and pasted the code into my notepad html file and have uploaded it to my host site. When I open the page, I see my introductory text and the the Bravenet Cast Your Vote image and link and the Free Vote Casters by Bravenet.com Link. What I don't see is the poll. Not one word of it is there. I simply don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

When I click on "View Service" the poll is sitting there exactly as I want it to appear on the web page.

I certainly hope there is a simple explanation to this.

Thanks!

http://users.igl.net/happytime/TDCenter/Poll_for_Admin_Rank.html

That's the URL of the page with the Bravenet code in it. I thought it would appear in the first message I posted because I entered it in the Website URL on the Post form.

Re: Vote Caster Poll Problems

it looks like you have the code 2 times on your page for the service


I would take the code off completely

then go to your webtools section
click on the vote caster link

then you will be at your maintenance page for the service

then click on the copy/paste html link

and get the complete code for the way you want the service to display on your website

then place it on your site where you want it and publish again


the service will display that way on your page then you just click the cast vote link and you are taken to the vote page to vote.

Re: Vote Caster Poll Problems

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, because I'm certainly not. You have at least looked at my page and have attempted to help me. And I have done what you suggested multiple times, all to no avail. In fact, I have uploaded yet another page that is completely blank, except for the basic HTML and the copy and paste code I obtained from the Vote Caster Poll page.

I believe that I'm missing something entirely, but for the life of me, I haven't figured out what!!

Here are both links for your perusal.

http://users.igl.net/happytime/TDCenter/Poll_for_Admin_Rank4.html (new page with nothing on it except the voting poll code)

http://users.igl.net/happytime/TDCenter/Poll_for_Admin_Rank.html (original page)

ANY help from ANYONE will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :-)

happy (but kinda grrrrrrr today!) ;-)

Re: Vote Caster Poll Problems

Happy,

You need to click the link that says 'Cast Your Vote' in order to see you poll. Once that link is clicked you and your users can see and use the poll.

If you wish for the poll to appear directly on your page please check our our Web Poll service - this service puts the poll directly on your page. The Vote Caster service displays on a separate page.

Hope that helped,
Courtnie
