In this paper we consider the following stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) in the whole space: $du (t, x) = [a^{i j} (t, x) D_{i j} u(t, x) + f(u, t, x)]\, dt + \sum_{k = 1}^m g^k (u(t, x)) dw^k (t).$ We prove the convergence of a Wong-Zakai type approximation scheme of the above equation in the space $ C^{θ} ([0, T], H^γ_p (\mathbb{R}^d)) $ in probability, for some $ θ\in (0,1/2), γ\in (1, 2)$, and $p > 2$. We also prove a Stroock-Varadhan's type support theorem. To prove the results we combine V. Mackevicius ideas from his papers on Wong-Zakai theorem and the support theorem for diffusion processes with N.V. Krylov's $L_p$-theory of SPDEs.
