I've already read the suggestion to use google forms to conduct a survey, however google will not allow me to have images as answers to select in the survey. Based on my satisfaction with KwikSurvey.com I decided to stick with them. They provide an html code to embed the survey into another site which looks like this

<iframe src="http://linktosurvey.com" style="border:1px  solid;" name="Online Survey" scrolling="auto" frameborder="yes" align="center" height = "600px" width="800px"></iframe><span id="take-survey" style="display:none;"></span></div>

I paste this into 'html' on my WordPress page in which I'd like the survey to appear, but all it does is throw up the 800x600 border with a transparent fill. I'm an html rookie, but I believe there should be a "< div >" at the front of the iframe code, but that didn't seem to help.

Any help is much appreciated. While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anybody has a good way of using a google form in which answer choices are just images, which I mentioned before I couldn't figure out how to do. If I can do that, that'd eliminate the need for KwikSurvey.com altogether.

WordPress can handle any content you throw at it.

In this case, you probably should just create a custom Page template to contain the survey embed code. e.g.:

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: KwikSurvey
 */

?>

<iframe src="http://linktosurvey.com" style="border:1px  solid;" name="Online Survey" scrolling="auto" frameborder="yes" align="center" height = "600px" width="800px"></iframe><span id="take-survey" style="display:none;"></span></div>

Just name the file template-kwiksurvey.php, and place it in your Theme's root directory.

Then, create a new static Page, and choose the "KwikSurvey" template under "Page Attributes". Publish the page, and you're done.

Belated thanks for the advice @Chip! Turns out that the issues I was encountering were actually on Kwik Survey's end--their survey wasn't cooperating with the iframe, but somehow now's it's fixed! Plus, their code was missing a < div >. Oops. – dirtychamois Jun 1 '12 at 3:46
