I’m not familiar with Leadpages/leadboxes or what they’re using. Javascript (and most HTML) is stripped out by design from eNews Extended.

Yes, I’m well aware that it’s stripped out. Is there a way to make it stop doing that? I need to be able to insert JavaScript to make it work.
No, short of changing the plugin’s code directly.

Argh, ok. It would be really nice if there were a plugin that did the same thing but accepted javascript. Leadpages/Leadboxes is probably the most popular system out there for adding popup boxes to a button or form, and thousands of people use it. If you made your plugin work with this, or developed another that did, you would probably find a lot of loyal people to download and use it.
Could you send me more info on it? Frankly, never heard of it before.

Oh wow, ok. It’s one of the most popular landing page generation services for business use:

You can create general sales pages, but also what they call “leadboxes” – which are essentially a customized popup form that you attach to a button. (The premise being that once a person clicks a button, they’re more likely to follow through with an opt-in.) The boxes are handy because it removes the clutter of forms from your site, and they really do have a better conversion rate than just a static form.
What I’d like to do it paste the leadbox code into my Genesis eNews Extended widgets, but the box code involves javascript to work properly. Without the javascript, the box will still pop up, but it appears in a new tab, and also reloads the original page if you go back. It’s really frustrating for readers to deal with once they click the button that pops up the box.
