You'll have to go php most probably.

Here's a cool site to check out hotscripts could just find one for you... but this way you can accomplish something and choose a script that will blend in nice with your site.

To add it into your page.. use a inline frame.
NB save the page as php or the content in the frame wont display.

I`m also looking for a script in java or html that would let my visitors post comments or testimonials. I don`t know about PHP.

You have to use some programming language, usually PHP.
HTML is just for mark-up (hence the name) - it isn't a programming lanaguage.

To store the comments, you'll need a database - MySQL is the commonest one you'll find from web hosts.

Then you'll use SQL, another lanaguage, to retrieve the comments, and PHP manipulate the data returned and to display the results using PHP.

praps that would work but it would be more suited for a forum for folks who don't wanna learn or know web dev and would prefer it done for them. For free.

If you are not confident with writing PHP yourself, just install WordPress and use that to manage your site. You don't need to learn much in the way of programming - the free plugins do 99% of the hard work for you!

Hi,

I am agree with the above points. You have to learn PHP. It is an advanced technology which helps you a lot. For more information you can consult with any expert near you.

Thanks.
