Bob: you can tally your results into a text file but you cant do it with client-side JavaScript. You need to use CGI for this using Perl, ASP or PHP etc... Try posting for help in either the Cgi & Perl Forum or the Misc. Scripting Languages Forum.

RC,

Thanks! That worked great! (actually I had to add document. in front of voteForm.Pres[x].checked to get it to work).

OK, let me try to take it a step further. Now I can easily dtermine within my script which candidates were voted for. Is there an easy way to be able to use the script to tally these votes as they come in from different users? Maybe there's a way to have a text file on my server with total vote numbers for each candidate which could be read, incremented according to which candidate was selected, and then written back out by my script? Or perhaps there's another way? Thanks again.

Bob

Bob-

This should do the trick.

<FORM NAME="voteForm" onSubmit="return validate();" METHOD="POST">
President:<br>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="Pres" VALUE="John">John
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="Pres" VALUE="Lauren">Lauren
<input type=submit value=go>
</form>
