have you seen the yahoo 'launchcast' station music rating? it uses that crazy macromedia stuff to implement its ratings, but these days you can eliminate around 10% of your audience by using AJAX to do the same thing!
No, I haven’t seen launchcast ratings. But nonetheless, I know even less “macromedia stuff” aka flash, therefore that’s of no help. AJAX is also not a relevant alternative. There will be two items per page to vote for. I want the user to be able to do one of three things. Vote twice, vote once, or not at all. Hence the need for the “silly submit button”.
but all your code was in PHP... you should post the html output, then anyone can load it.
There are only 9 lines of php code. The majority of the code is in JavaScript, followed by HTML, then PHP. The output is 2 lines. I didn't think it was necessary to post the output, and I doubt anyone who has the ability to answer the question would disagree.
the simple answer is "YES" I am sure there is a way of doing what you ask.
As you finally realized the point of my post…if the answer is "yes" then how do I do it?
I'm only concerned about the JavaScript and of course the html form. I included the php, albeit small amount, because I wanted the reader to have a complete understanding of the script.
I want to thank you for your post. However, I’d rather be helped with my current situation (modifying the JavaScript; see the title of this thread "Help modify some JavaScript/HTML") rather than fielding submitted alternatives. Unless, of course, there is no way to perform the task I would like with the current method.
