[ Online Survey ]
The Online Survey lets visitors to your page vote in a survey of your
choice.
For this tutorial, we assume that you understand how to use Notepad,
and the bare essentials of HTML. For help with these tasks, take a look at the
Guest Counter Tutorial which has
a lot more detail.
This Dynamic Tool introduces the notion of "Templates".
Templates are the files you can use to customise the appearance
of the Dynamic Tools you use.
[Instructions for FrontPage]
To get your Online Survey working as quickly as possible, simply follow
the step-by-step instructions listed below.
- Create
a new Notepad document. Give the page a heading;
seems appropriate at this stage.
- Enter
some descriptive text, with a link to the "Voting"
dynamic tool, such as;
<P>
<A HREF="/zisp/vote">Click Here</A> to vote in my survey.
</P>
|
|
- Enter another link to view the results of your survey:
<P>
<A HREF="/zisp/vote_show">Click Here</A> to view the
results of my survey.
</P>
|
|
- Now
save the web page (for now, call it "online_survey.html").
- Next,
upload your new Online Survey page to your web site, open your
Internet browser, and view the page.
Try voting for a few different
categories, and watch the voting statistics change!
Online Survey Options
Well done! You've mastered the bare essentials. There are a few other things
that you can do with your Online Survey. These are listed below:

You can have lots of different surveys for lots of different
