FYI - Survey Monkey has embed feature

[Katie McKay]

I embeded a survey onto one of my network's pages and it works beautifully.   Embeding the survey instead of linking to it keeps members on your site and looks more professional.

 

I believe it would work in any text box, you can change the width, height and appearance.  They really offer quite a bit with their free basic plan.

Random question, but isn't their office in the same building as Ning's? :P

Katie, thanks for the tip. Surveys are a huge component of my site, and this will definitely help me out.

thanks for the tip, for embedded survey I have so far used polldaddy, but this may work better, I'll try!

Doesn't seem to embed in group forum posts.

I'm actually having trouble embedding my SurveyMonkey survey into the main text box of my homepage. It comes up as a blank box! I'm working in Firefox on a Mac -- and yes, I'm doing this in HTML mode. Any ideas?

 

Here's the code SurveyMonkey gave me:

 

<div id="surveyMonkeyInfo"><div><script src="http://www.surveymonkey.com/jsEmbed.aspx?sm=ma5vOgiE2UQjSTZzuJuwaw_3d_3d"> </script></div>Create your <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/">free online surveys</a> with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.</div>

Oh never mind! I figured it out. I just needed to make the box a little narrower.

Hi, I've been trying to embed a Survey Monkey poll on my NING, and it's not working. Any advice on how I can fix this?

[Julie]

I don't see survey monkey as an app.  Can we still do this?

[Airwalk]

There is a big compatibility problem between Surveymonkey and Ning: Whenever you wanna embed the code into a forum, group discussion or blog the code doesn't work, hence the survey is useless. Surveymonkey will only work if you embed the code into a "page" on Ning.

Ning is really limiting a lot of functions. I wonder why that is ... .

Hi Airwalk, Because of the security risks associated with iframes (redirects, malicious code, phishing scams, etc.), not all iframe domains can be added to each feature. Here's a list of supported iframe embeds and a bit more information on the topic. Per your suggestion, I'll add SurveyMonkey to our list. I'll just need an example of the iframe embed code you're trying to use. Thanks!

Hey Alison - I think I know what you're saying, but just in case, can you say this again in regular english?  (I get the word embed, but not sure what "supported iframe" means).
