This looks like it could be good, but everything behind these links (a) shows you a poll and (b) gives you a demo of a poll, but (c) there is no instructions or code on how to implement this poll application on someone's personal site (unless I am blind).
So what is the answer to (c)?
Is the code to create a poll, the embed code from the demo page's 'Page Source' that James created?
Or doe you need to use some sort of poll module on wikidot such as [[module poll]] (if there is such a thing)?
I just dont get how to take this idea and to implement this idea into my wiki sites.
It looks good but what is the "How To" to create a poll on Wikidot?
Did I miss something?
You create your poll on the http://polls.wikidot.com site and then use the code it gives you in your site.
So…
1) Enter the title of your poll in the box at http://polls.wikidot.com/poll:_start and press the Create a Poll button
2) The next screen is just to confirm the title of the poll, press the Save button.
3) At the next screen enter the first poll option and press the "Create…" button. Add more options
4) Copy the iframe code in the blue box on the right of the screen and put it on your site inside [[html]]..[[/html]] tags (instead of the older embed tags used in the box).

Thanks for the instructions Rob, unfortunately it just gives me an error which is "Sorry, no match for the embedded content."
I tried all combinations of [[html]]...[[/html]] and /or [[embed]]...[[/embed]] tags wrapped around the provided iframe code to no avail. I also switched my site from private to public but that didnt make any difference either.
The page for my attempt is here at: http://ye-olde-test-site.wikidot.com/test-of-wiki-poll
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
In each of your 4 poll options you have "THE", for example Radiohead is "THE" Iconic Band of Gen X. The javascript doesn't like the ".
It should just be Radiohead is THE Iconic Band of Gen X.
Also, somehow you have introduced an extra > at the end of the iframe in the code on your page which should be removed.

Thanks Rob. It was the "…" that upset the Java code and I also took out the mysterious extra > on the end of the iframe.
It all works fine now.
