 Week 2

Using Surveys and Forms

  Hi All,
The Virtual Campus takes some thinking about! To preserve my good humour I opened the votes board http://www.garethhowell.net/responses.html I've had two voters, details of which are totally secret but here is the info. Vance did not vote for himself. He voted for comedy Four times, but then that was probably my fault because I hadn't changed the reply html adequately, otherwise he would have done! You may vote for one or all four candidates. You may prefer not to leave your e address or leave it as a message. The archive schedule is apparently only marginally necessary so far but it is still early days. I shall put up whatever you send me re contacts. http://www.garethhowell.net/archiveschedule.html for where and whenners.

Cheerio, Gareth
Gar, I have tried several times to get to your voting page but it would not open. (IE 6.0)

  The Votes page is getting sufficiently interesting and usive not abusive, now there's a word, for me to consider a linked page to comments without naming names. What is surprising is the number of gliterati, (is that spelt like spaghetti?) who want to be on it! I have excluded Elizabeth Hanson-Smith from the vote, (if you look you will see why) and I shall include some others in the next day or two. If anybody would like to create a little more code and questions I shall be happy to include it, and claim it as my own work, in the usual way. What is more , since it is a compulsory vote I shall probably decide who will win it in advance by creating the questions carefully. I shall also grow a cyberbeard like Dr. Fidel Castro's.

Does Response-O-Matic collate the data for you?

Michael, that's cool!
Sus showed me another one that I will be using soon. I created the survey but have not used it yet. It has a feature to keep the survey closed until you need it. The only problem is that you cannot test the survey after it is created, if you do, you cannot make editions, and the results will include your testing. Otherwise, it is very nice, you can get it on your own web page. Survey Monkey http://64.73.24.48/home.asp? After I created that survey I found another place and you can preview, edit and test the survey before making it public, this is the url: phpESP:http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~ah666/fsiweb/phpESP-1.3/admin/index.php?where=man\age Both are free and give you results as opposed to Response-O-Matic (free but no results). Thanks a lot !

No, it doesn't. It send you an email. You could write a program to parse what you want from the email (if skilled and inclined).
