HTML question and Polls
When creating a new survey form (a poll), one choice relates to whether or not to permit HTML.

I've created a simple form with the option to INCLUDE both WritingML and HTML in the form: "Check-in Form ExampleOpen in new Window.. However, when I try to include HTML, for example,
<p>Today's date is: <span id="display-date"></span></p>
instead of inserting an HTML-formatted paragraph with today's date, it just treats the entire string as text--it never gets interpreted as HTML. I tried surrounding it with <HTML> </HTML> tags, but that didn't work.

So...my question is, exactly what does the choice "Include both HTML and WritingML" mean on the poll creation interface? I'd like to do more than just including the current system date if that's possible. A more basic question would be how to create a form (in this case, a poll) as a webpage?

Should I maybe create a webpage and use an INSERT tag to include the poll?

Oddball question, I know...but consider the source...
