Wordpress MU is great, however Wordpress MU’s authors think it’s not safe to enable the html tags in the default text widget. Unfortunately, today many excellent widget require Javascript, if we can’t enable Javascript support, those widget will not able to appear in the blog sider bar.

There are some blogs talked about hacking the code to enable HTML tags in the widget, however it’s not a standard way and may not compatible in the next version. That’s the reason why I made this plugin: Widgetize-AnyHTML. With this plugin, you can add anything you want unfiltered in the sidebar…of course AT YOUR OWN RISK, wrong code may break you page and even bring in vulnerabilities.

This is my first wordpress plugin, and actually it’s just changed slightly from Erik’s great “widgetize anything”, which enable you to add any PHP code directly in the siderbar. I found his plugin when I am trying to find out a solution to enable WPMU’s javascript enabled widget support, his plugin is not what I want, but very close, actually I change very few lines to make this plugin. (Note: I am not sure if my plugin’s using Erik’s code has break Erik’s license agreement or not, Erik, if you think I shouldn’t do that, pls. let me know, I will remove it)
