I've seen poll scripts and downloaded/used them. I have followed tutorials on creating a poll and used that...

I run a website that is for a martial arts event. For each event we have a Fight Card page (page showing who is fighting who). I would like for each match to have buttons under it where the viewer can vote for one of the 2 fighters in that match. Basically click who they think would win each fight. Ultimately I'd like it so you click the fighters picture and then under the info for that particular fight info pops up saying 80% Fighter A / 20% Figher B
(basically the % of who voted for who).

I haven't been able to make a poll where you click on the picture to vote and I haven't been able to make a poll where you can vote for each fight. Each poll I have made only really lets you have 1 poll per page otherwise the voting gets all screwed up...

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

I'm not sure if I fully understand, but I think you should use AJAX to submit a vote to some php script.

The image thing is a bit tricky to make compatible. When I built something like that before, I started by just displaying the page with the images and set the image as the label for a radio button (so, clicking on it is the same as clicking the radio button). Then, with javascript, I hid all the radio buttons. That made it work for everyone.

For multiple polls, it really just depends on how you structure the name of the radio buttons. If it's of the form vote[battle_id]=suggested_winner, then you'll have an array of votes you can parse. This has the added advantage of allowing the user to vote for all battles at once. Just be sure to not set radio buttons as initially selected or incorrect votes will be counted.

That's the overall view. For more specific guidance, give it a shot and post your code w/ questions here.

radio buttons would even work. that would be perfect. i just can't find a way to do it.

that would be just as good as clicking the image.

There would be several of these on one page (between 10 and 20)

at first it would look like this:


the viewer would click on who they think would win and they would then see this:



It would be like this for each fight. I just have no clue how to set it up!
