   Is any one else seeing this when trying to vote? It seems I've waited quite some time - are these result instantaneous?

   Thanks for your help.

   Experiencing the same issue. No other plug-ins are enabled, and it's on the default theme.

   For the time being I have it posted for debugging.

   Thanks in advance for the help.

   My safest bet on the problem is an invalid HTML markup somewhere in your page.

   You can validate it http://validator.w3.org/

   Error: poll_form has no properties

   yea, I am using Firebug to debug. I am guessing it is an invalid HTML markup somewhere. Try validating your site with http://validator.w3.org/

   I thought it was me from editing the poll template...guess not. I checked to see if it was from using FireFox 3 RC2 by using a different browser - definitely isn't that.

   I deleted the plugin, emptied the MYSQL poll databases, then I re-downloaded the plugin, and re-activated - not that either.

   I restored the default templates - not that either. (Otherwise, we wouldn't have invalid markup.) My custom template was validated as XHTML as well.

   And I just found out this problem occurred today...this is irking me.

   Check your error console of FF to see what JS error popups.

   After validating and fixing multiple html errors in the blog on
   http://bmore-urbanforestproject.org/blog/
   I still get the same error message. Does anybody have a direct solution for this?

   I really like this plugin, it would just be great if I could get it to process votes.

    Problem solved. I switched to Democracy. No hangs ups easy installation.

    Democracy? What is Democracy?

    I just checked my error console on FF - it says poll form is null, then another error says poll is not defined.

    ETA: I'm using Democracy, although editing the template is not as easy as editing the template for WP Polls. If someone can find a solution to the WP Polls problem, then I'll be willing to switch back to WP Polls.

    There is always pros and cons in different plugins as the saying goes One Man's Food is Another's Poison.

    @aimeeish, did you try the default template without any plugins activated to see if it works int he first place?

15. Aimee

    Yes, I have tried the default template...twice, actually. I could be wrong, but I noticed the error a couple days after I used CSS style for the poll bar style. Though, I can't see how something like that would effect the AJAX of the script.

    Could disabling Fading In and Fading Out of poll disrupt the poll? Hrm.

    Nope disabling fading in and out would not disrupt it. I got a feeling is somesort of JS/HTML error instead of a serverside one, as the error message says that the form can't be found.

    So it did work on the default theme?

    Last year I installed wp-polls 2.20 into a WordPress 2.21 site - worked fine.

    Today I tried wp-polls 2.20 into a 2.33 site and had this "still being processed" error. Using the default "classic" theme did not help.

    Finally I upgraded to wp-polls 2.30 and WordPress 2.51 and it's working.

    Lester, if you have any theories on what the issue might have been with WordPress 2.21 and wp-polls 2.20 I'd appreciate it. I like the software otherwise.

    Nope, that didn't work either. =/

    @mjweissman Hmm, I would have to use Firebug to find out. But here is quite a big difference between 2.20 and 2.30 as I changed the JS altogether. It maybe a permission problem here as in 2.20 I am using .php to ouput it as Javascript and on 2.30 I am using .js itself.

    @aimeeish: yours is a little tricky. Can you do a uninstall of wp-polls by the plugin itself (WP-Admin -> Polls -> Uninstall) and then reinstall it? Try again on the default theme with no other plugins enabled.

    If it still does not work, try a fresh copy of WP into another location and just installed it with WP-polls.

    I'll try that now. What is odd is that the poll was working fine for a few days. Hrm.

    ETA: I have just uninstalled, then reinstalled polls. Emptied the poll database, did a fresh install, used default templates, and it still comes up with the "Please wait a while.." message.

    BTW, my error console says, poll form is null. I took out the 'null' in the .js file, but that didn't work either. (I put it back, of course).

    And, I can view results...just can't vote.

    Would my jQuery files have anything to do with this?

    ETA 2: I added this plugin to one of my other wordpress domains...and it actually works. So, I deactivated all of my WP plugins on the site where the poll isn't working...still doesn't work.

    Is the domain running the same theme and plugins? I don't think it is jQuery as I am using jQuery as well on my site and it works fine with it.

    That is weird. From my experience, when the error state that the poll form is null, it is normally due to JS error on the site and invalid HTML markup somewhere in the page

    Nope, domain isn't running the same theme and plugins. I think it's another plugin that's causing this problem. But it is odd that I disabled every plugin before installing. -_-

    What plugin is that?

    The plugins I disabled are FAQ-Tastic, NextGen Gallery (I have NextGen installed on my other blog that worked with the Wp-Polls, so I know it's not this plugin), Post-Plugin Library, Recent Posts, SR-ChildPages Shortcode, Stray Random Quotes, and WP-Projects.

    I think I found the error!
    Missing </form> for your search form.
    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://www.emmafrostfiles.com/wordpress" />

    *major headdesk* Thank you so much for all your help and, especially, your patience! It works...totally my fault. Thanks again!

    ETA: Now my search form doesn't work,but that's something I'll figure out later.

    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"></form>
    <div class="search_input"><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s"/></div>
    <input type="submit" class="btn_go" value=""/>

    That doesn't work...

    You should put </form> after <input type="submit" class="btn_go" value=""/>
