I am trying to publish a cdf document, but I'm having some problems with the function Manipulate with this code:

Manipulate[x + 1, {x}]

In Mathematica, when I set x = d + d^3 in the input field, I get this output:

Manipulate[x + 1, {{x, d + d^3}}]

This is what I want. However, it seems that the cdf player is only able to evaluate the expression x + 1 when x is a number and not a more complicated expression. Is this true or I am doing something wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. FreeCDF only supports numbers in input fields, see here: wolfram.com/cdf/faq/details-for-mathematica-programmers.html – Szabolcs Mar 15 at 19:04
I suspected that, thank you anyway. – Giorgio Mar 15 at 19:10

I think this restriction is there to prevent people from making a CDF that could evaluate arbitrary Mathematica code. (And thus using the CDF player as a free Mathematica) – Szabolcs Mar 15 at 19:18
Currently, the only way around these limitations of the FreeCDF player are either to get PlayerPro (which is a per license cost) or an Enterprise version of Mathematica in which you can "super-sign" CDFs to achieve more functionality. – kale Mar 15 at 19:42
