Hey, just wondering if there is a way for me to create my own poll without having the register somewhere (but if there is a way to get a poll with registering and without paying, tell me please!) ?

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. Do you mean your own forum?

...

To make a poll you'll need to know some sort of front or back end scripting language. PHP is all the rage these days but VB guys like myself prefer ASP. Then there's your fronties like VBS, FS, JS. These are probably a good place to start because you can eaisly integrate them into your site without a fancy smancy host. Take a peak:

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Click me!" NAME="Command1">
<script LANGUAGE="VBS">
 MsgBox "Click the darn button!"
 Sub Command1_OnClick
  MsgBox "That's a good little boy/girl."
  document.bgcolor="black"
 End Sub
</SCRIPT>

Now obviously a poll's a bit more work. My favorite scripting language would be VBS but few browsers support it. Try a search on google for more info.

am i able to just write a js program that will just tally votes with something like:

Code: [Select]
if (vote=yes)
{
yes=yes+1
}

if (vote=no)
{
no=no+1
}
and then just display the votes?

Aren't you trying to make a Poll in HTML? That looks like RPGCode.

That wouldn't save the variables. You have to write the data to a file (a database would work nicest).

Of course JS can do it, all the fronties are pretty much the same, I just prefer VBS.

I don't actually know too much about MySQL (a database system). What you might want to do is search for a tutorial in your language of choice and read it. The acutal displaying is easy but writing to a database is slightly harder.

I believe he wanted to, as the topic is called, "My my own poll".

wow!! its actually realy easy to write a polling script!!  Surprised

for anyone who knows PHP, youre able to set variables in the web adress by just doing something like:
Code: [Select]
http://darkforces.mysticsoftware.net/poll.php?vote=$value or something of that sort?

also, how would you make a cookie set a value that wouldnt allow someone to vote twice? and also be able to check for that cookie?

this is sooo cool!!!!  B)
