how do I tally survey results in a form

[saborasalsa]

The website I designed has a weekly contest which I currently have to tally
the results by hand, but would like to make it where the visitors can see the
running results as the contest goes on, and simplify my life when it is time
to tally the winners, is there a way to do this in frontpage? to see the page
I am talking about, go to www.saborasalsa.com

Probably the easiest way would be to send the form results
to a db. Using the db will allow you to create a query
which can tally up the numbers, and if you wanted to you
could even use a DRW to show the voters what the current
count was

IMHO your page takes way too long to load because of that
mp3.

I concur on that one: The entry page including all linked files, occupies
6.3MB, which take a couple of minutes (an eternity in web terms) on via DSL
and forever on a dial-up connection. Also, keep in mind that not all
browsers will automatically play back a downloaded MP3 file.

Also, your photos are way too big for a web format. For example the photo on
the right side of http://www.saborasalsa.com/Spanishhome.htm occupies 755KB.
You should resize and downsample in a graphics program to make specific
versions for your web.. The resize function that you have used in Frontpage
only modifies the <img width="xx" height="xx"> properties, and not the size
of the graphic itself.

De cualquier modo me gusta mucho "el espíritu" de vuestra web - muy buena
música.
