Advanced Poll (Need Help)

I have the site www.wastedwebspace.com where there is a ssi call on the top of the page, bottom, left, right and in the header. I am trying to place the advanced poll in the left ssi call. I have tried to call this left side a php file but when I vote the page opens in left.php rather than the page that you were in. I have also tried using a ssi call and this does not work either. The poll runs fine but when you vote the results never come up. How can I get this poll to work so that it is in the left side and the results show once you vote?
