I’m having trouble deciding what is the best way to implement a web poll/form that will be used on the sports site I’m interning at. Basically we wanted to create a form or poll for the upcoming NBA draft where users can create their own mock drafts about which players will go where. I only see two ways of implementing it, either using a HTML form with JSP (which I only took one class on in college) or using Flash/Actionscipt/XML to store the data. PHP isn’t an option because it isn’t installed on the web server, and there is zero chance that they would install it for this. I am leaning towards the Flash/XML route, because I should be able to save data from the form to the XML, and then display it somewhere else showing the results. Is this a good approach, or should I reconsider another option? Sorry if this isn’t the right section to post in, but I think it does fit here. Thanks!
