Online Poll

[steven21]

Anyone got any tips on how to create an online poll? I use Dreamweaver 8 - I cant find an integrated menu in it to create an online poll.

Just make a simple table with your poll options. Then all you have to do is insert a row for each vote. For instance you could insert 1 for yes and 0 for no. Then in dreamweaver just create a recordset and select the column in your table that you wish to view the total for and select the 'Entered Value' option on the 3rd drop down. Enter 1 and create a dynamic text.

Sorry if that seemed a little long winded but let me know if you need any help ;)

Are you talking about designing the input of the poll or the actually processing of the results?

both - create it and then view results.

Are you not best using a pre-built or external one?

There are external polls but I'd avoid personally as they have loads of ads and pop-ups.Best to implement some pre-built code.
