I came across this example on how to do an AJAX poll.
The only thing is that the author says this:
QUOTE
In this demo, I haven't limited the number of votes per user. This is something you can implement by setting the Javascript variable useCookiesToRememberCastedVotes to true in the script or by implementing your own method.


How can I possibly do that, or do you guys know any good example that I can learn to create a simple poll in my page?
Thanks...

That sounds like a boolean variable in the script. Search for it and change it to true, or write your own function that only allows a user to vote once.

Would need to see the code to know for sure.

I am not good at JavaScript. If I do, I will have no problem modifying them at the first place biggrin.gif
I wanted to do an AJAX poll just like what we have in TWS here. Any good tutorial for me smile.gif

If you show us the code, I'm sure someone can add the "protection" there very quickly. I don't know how good protection you need but if you use just the cookie, users can delete that cookie and do it again but maybe you can worry about that when/if you get problems.

Here's also a good tutorial on creating a jquery/php poll: http://nettuts.com/javascript-ajax/creatin...jquery-and-php/

Sorry, I thought I gave the link at my first post there. Anyway here is the link: AJAX Poller and the demo Here

I did came across the tutorial that you gave me but I haven't go through them in detail biggrin.gif
Thanks anyway...

EDIT

After a brief read through at the code info, I came across this explanation biggrin.gif
QUOTE
useCookiesToRememberCastedVotes = If set to true, use cookie to prevent user from casting more than one vote

Yes, I found that too but don't have time to check it, if it works. What if you set that to true and try it? Does it work or not?

I will try that tonight. I will let you know if it works biggrin.gif
Cheers...

EDIT

Uploaded the code in my WAMP and all I can see is a "mess"!
I don't have all day to find a way to make the code work!
