My mom is getting a fairly simple website designed by a third person and she reallly wants to add a comments section. I suggested something that looks like this :
Name:
Email:
URL:
Comment: ?
Can I get this code from a shareware or freeware source? I am trying to help the website designer add this feature in without writing it herself. Thanks for your help…
Matt’s Script Archive - customisable guestbook Perl script. It’s a mine of useful scripts!
No! His scripts are so old as to render them dangerous these days!
Getting back to the OP, are you asking for a web form or the web form with its underlying engine (script) to make it function? Any decent web person can create a simple web form as you ask. However, the engine (script) used to process the information is dependent upon the web server in which it resides. A Perl script will work, just as a PHP script, providing the web server is configured to use those languages (as most are these days).
www.scriptlance.com is is a reverse auction site where you can hire people to tweak/build sites and other stuff for you too. Just bid low, though.
Simplest way I can think of:
-Sign up for a free hosting account with freewebs.com
-Use their online tool to create a web form
then either:
-paste it into an otherwise empty page, hosted in your freewebs webspace, and embend this page in an iframe on a page in your main website
-paste it into a page that has the same look and feel as your main site, host it on your freewebs site and just point the feedback link to it.
That’s assuming your own ISP doesn’t have a script library that you can use directly in your own pages.
