Javascript Poll

[adamjgb]

Hi. I'm a newbie to Javascript and I have been tasked with creating an online poll to grade and/or rate a particular story that is being put out on my church's website. From what I have read, I know that Javascript is client side only and I can't send the poll results to a database.

But I don't need to do that. What I would like to do is have the user complete the survey and have that information sent to the story creator directly in an email. The result would need to be displayed in the body of the email. Can this be done and if so, where can I find the code to do that??

I hope this is possible and I appreciate any assistance provided to me.

Thanks!

Adam

If the website has no server side script ability then I think you have 2 options

setup your on form and set action attribute of the form tag to "mailto:[e-mail]". The problem with this is that the email address used is vunerable, i.e. unsrupulous bots can pull the email address from the website which could then be used for spamming.

The second option is to use a third party hosted form, there are lots of sites out there that do this just Google "free form mail" to find loads. Basically the third party host a page with your form(poll) on it and email the results to you. Some sites even do it for free with adverts.

I can't recomend one because the sites I run have server side script so I just do my own thing.
