Hi Everyone,

I've been using a poll on my site for years, and over the years have went through 3 different polls. Unfortunately the current one I'm using just isn't cutting it anymore, as whenever somebody clicks a vote, it loads a new page with only the poll results, then the user has to hit back on the browser to return to the site. I obviously don't like this.

Now, I was unsure whether to post this in the Perl or PHP section here, but I've posted it in the PHP section as I believe PHP to be more popular nowadays, and thus the newsest polls are probably in PHP.

What I'm looking for:

1. Poll must be have SSI feature. All of my pages are .shtml pages, and I don't have any PHP on the site (I'm a Perl man), so I need a poll that let's me 'call' in the poll via SSI.

2. Poll must reload on the same page... (not go to a new page).

3. Poll should be free or else under $10 and payable via PayPal.

That's all I'm looking for basically! And of course, the display should be customizable, but pretty much all polls are.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks, but all the comments seem to say that it is very buggy and coded incorrectly. I also failed to find any information about the poll on their website to see if it supported SSI invoking on non PHP pages, etc...

How are you going to store the data? You will need ASP or PHP to communicate with a database (MS Access, mySQL, MSSQL, etc)

Most polls I've seen are flatfile based, but I have MySQL if you find a poll that is MySQL only.
