    Solved Created a widget but when I paste the code to embed it and add to our forum it just shows the code in the widget box.

    Here is my widget I created at pyzam.com

    http://www.pyzam.com/toys/showtoy/48/2309050

    here is the code I put into the widget creation tool.

    <style type="text/css">div.pylb, div.pylb a, div.pylb a div, div.pylb a object {width:300px;height:180px;top:0px;left:0px;display:block;cursor:pointer}div.pylb a {position:relative;visibility:visible}div.pylb a div, div.pylb a object {position:absolute}div.pylb a:hover object{visibility:hidden}div.pylb a div { background-image:none}div.pylb a:hover div{background-image:url(http://stuff.pyzam.com/app_res/cd/get_this_toy.jpg)}</style><div class="pylb"><a href="http://www.pyzam.com" target="_blank"><embed height="180" width="300" src="http://stuff.pyzam.com/toys/customcdown.swf?maturity=1221660000000:NaN:158561124:NaN:source.pyzam.com/app_res/mdp_cd/300x180/1/b/gothicangel.jpg:Warhammer032Goes032Live033033" quality="high" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /><div></div></a></div>
    <img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyMTkzODczMzkwOTMmcHQ9MTIxOTM4NzM*MjY3MSZwPTM5MDEmZD1mbGFzaHRveXMmbj*mZz*x.gif" />



    When I add the widget instead of showing the nice countdown timer I made, all you see is the above code in the place where the widget is supposed to be. have I done something wrong ? I have seen this widget used on another forumotion page and looked at the source code on the page it is on and it seems identical to the code I used above. Does anyone know what im doing wrong ?

    Do the admins of this site read these forums ? Im sure my problem is rather simple and straight forward. The only thing I see the admins reply to is: This topic does not explain what you are asking, if you dont change it you wont get a reply.

    How about a little help ? or at least, im sorry we cant help you.....
    This forum does not support this type of thing etc...

    Fine, I'll be passing my way then rather than replying (or rather than ensuring this whole place runs smoothly for that matter) mwii

    Normally, I'd answer anyway, but to be very frank, I'm TIRED of these free accusations and insults...

    well if I actually seen a reply that helped someone then I might have replied differently. But seeing as its your job to help people, how about you actually do it.

    When you edit the widget module in the forum widgets management, try to switch the editor mode before pasting the code into it. Be sure the modules is cleaned from all code-content. Then just click the red HTML icon above the editor box, it should be fine once it turns into a green one. Now re-submit your code and you're done.
