Embedding of Congressional Maps Doesn't Work about govtrack.us-web HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi. Where do you host your blog? WordPress.com doesn't allow you to embed other content, for instance.

from govtrack.us-web.

Hello,

Daily Kos is where my blog posts are made. I'm able to embed to the blogs
all the time but can't seem to do it for some strange reason from the
coding format that Govtrack has provided. Maybe I'm just not understanding
embedding enough.

Can you link me to an example page where it is not working?

from govtrack.us-web.

Here's an example page where I've tried to use the embed code. I've
included the link to the Congressional district map on Govtrack as well:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/02/21/1188879/-What-are-the-Issues-in-Eastern-Utah-UT-03-Congressman-Jason-Chaffetz-District

Here's how I originally wrote the blog diary before it was published.
Embed code is included at the very top of the written content:

<iframe width="425" height="300" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"
marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/embed/mapframe?state=ut&district=3&bounds=-118.413,43.767,-104.681,34.953
"></iframe>

Hello,
*
*
I'd like to reach out to any of you Kossacks from Utah's 3rd Congressional
District or at least in the Eastern part of Utah for information. If any
of you not from the area but in Utah and know the 3rd Congressional
District well, feel free to add your understanding of the communities,
issues, etc. *
*
*
*This isn't going to be much of a diary. You can add anything you want
about the 3rd Congressional District. Keep in mind this diary is just for
information purposes.
*
*
What issues directly affect people in Eastern Utah and Utah in general,
and in the 3rd district specifically? My colleague Augustin and I are
working on the Knowledge
Democrats project and I've started working on a wiki page for Utah's 3rd congressional
district in order to assist in our long term efforts to promote
progressive candidates in that district, whether at the local, state or
federal level. We understand Utah's 3rd Congressional District may be
conservative but we're still looking to reach out to any Kossacks,
Democrats or progressives in the area. It helps for long-term planning.

We do know for now that Jason Chaffetz is Rep. Darrell Issa's wingman with
regards to the manufactured Benghazi investigation done by Issa and others
in the GOP.

Also, taking politics out of the equation, let others know if you've been
to the 3rd Congressional District and can point out some good restaurants,
venues and places to spend time in there.

So far, I only have the basic information. What issues should be
documented? What important links / articles / information should be added
to the wiki page?

Hi,

I don't think the problem is specific to our widget. When you publish the story, you should see the same embed code in the HTML source of the page. When I look at the source of the page now, most of the embed code isn't showing up. That's got something to do with how DailyKos publishes content.

I wish I could be more help. Thanks for trying!

Josh
