AOL Journals: Magic Smoke

Hearing Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Do It Fluid Hi folks -- not a lot to report today -- been in a lot of meetings. However, Journals Project Manager Yoel has a poll about the Journals polls beta in his blog, so go check it out.

As noted, the polls beta test requires that you know the HTML for IFRAMEs -- an IFRAME is like a little window cut into a Web page that shows content from another Web page -- so we're not really pushing it right now. When we eventually roll it out for real, it shouldn't require any mucking about with the HTML -- it should be all plug-and-play. Or poll-and-play, as it were.

On the plus side, we were having some problems previously where you would go to a  Journal that had an embedded poll, and sometimes the poll window would replace the Journals window -- Yoel says that particular problem has been fixed.

Thanks. -- Joe
