    Ad-free on-line polls?

    Hello,

    Anyone know of an easy way to add advert free polls to a website?

    Just simple choices like Which colour is best: Blue or Green? etc

    You could make one yourself using PHP if you know how. I've got to go to work soon, but when I get back I might make one for you (pretty sure I know how).

    Bet I'm beaten to it though by someone else.

    The process should be fairly simple - each time the user submits the form, send it to a page (could be PHP, Perl, Python, etc.) that reads the form contents and adjusts an appropriate file/database.

    Stopping people from voting more than once could be a bit more difficult - I might try using cookies.

    log the IP address would be easier

    if you are already using a database, it should be easy to implement
