Polls and Voting

Does anyone know of a free add in or script for adding a
poll to a website. I would like if it was an add in that
could be used within my site, not a third party feature.
I would also like if the colours/text/etc. can be
customized.

Thanks! Gwen

Create an HTML form that contains a drop-down box or a
set of radio buttons for your poll question, plus a submit button.

Configure the form properties to save these results to a database.

Use the Database Results Wizard to summarize the results of the
poll. To report totals rather than individual responses, use a custom
query like:

SELECT answer, Sum(1) AS responses
FROM answers
GROUP BY answer
ORDER BY answer;

This assumes that the name of your database table is answers, and that the
answer field of each record contains the poll response.

For asp... there are a few scripts at:

www.planet-source-code.com

( I checked and I think there were 5 or 6 different scripts) you should also
check out the php section and perhaps the JavaScript section at this same
site.

and I'm pretty sure there are some php scripts for this at:
www.hotscripts.com

Best to you.....
