Tips for using Smart Poll/Smart Multi Poll

Support Email ID: admin@smartwebby.com

The interfaces provided when you buy the Smart Poll are standardized and are easy to integrate into any site. We describe below how to use them in different ways. Useful tips and related code has also been included for easy implementation.

A. Tips for the Vertical Poll (Bar Graph and Pie Chart) Interfaces

• Tip 1: The vertical poll is ideal for your left or right menu (see how it is used on our site in the left menu).
• Tip 2: If the dimensions of the vertical poll (150x350) is not exactly the dimensions you desired, you can increase or decrease the dimensions to your width:height in the ratio 3:7. For example if your menu area width is 180 or 138 you can change the dimensions as :
  
  

  Increase dimensions: width=180 height=180*7/3=420 There is no upper limit for increasing the dimensions. Decrease dimensions: width=138 height=120*7/3=322 Important: Do not decrease the width below 136 pixels as the words will get blurred.

  
  
• Tip 3: The interfaces provided by us are very basic so that they can be customized for any site.
  Example A: The display of the smart poll on the left utilizes a header and a footer to give it the curved box with a heading effect.
  
  

  header table:  Smart Poll

  footer table:

  
  Example B: You can display the poll in different ways by just using tables and a shim (1x1 transparent gif) image. The copy and paste code can be found below the examples.

B. Tips for the Square Poll (Bar Graph and Pie Chart) Interfaces

• Tip 1: The square poll is ideal to place inside you page content or as a pop-up window. It also has the advantage of displaying the name of the Poll which is not there in the vertical poll.
  
  Code for the pop-up window link :
  <a href="javascript: {var xwin=window.open('poll.asp','SmartPoll','width=300,height=300')}">pop-up
  window</a>
• Tip 2: If the dimensions of the vertical poll (300x300) is not exactly the dimensions you desired, you can increase or decrease the dimensions to your width:height in the ratio 1:1 i.e. just make your height and width equal. There is no upper limit for increasing the dimensions. For decreasing read below :
  
  

  Decrease dimensions: width=271 height=271 Important: Do not decrease the dimensions below 271 pixels as the words will get blurred.
