You'll need to upload it to your server to test it.
PHP is a server-side based language so its not rendered or executed like
HTML and JavaScript are in your browser.
Also i've found DreamWeaver
(at least MX 2004) doesn't render the HTML code properly anyway so I usually
view my code in an actual browser. But I think it only does it with old parts
of HTML code that are deprecated.
One last thing make sure the page' extension is .php not .html/.htm
If advanced poll doesn't return to your home page because the url is
something like http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?area=news then try
setting the poll' base url to that and see if it then returns you to the
correct page. This is a solution i thought of after someone had this problem
and posted here, rather late i know but its more for future reference.
Just replace the password string in the database or file in the textfile version
with the original password string and it will be restored to the default one.

Very good point. One I forgot to mention because i forgot it.
Thanks for bringing it back up Wizbang.
