Creating simple recordsets in DW8

Hello:
I have a question. I want to set up a simple yes or no button that a visitor
can click on and let me know if they like or dislike an idea or product. What
is the simplest way to do that ? Do I have set up the coldfushion server and
all that to do this ?
I am unfamiliar with setting up a CS server.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Sam

many webhost actually provide some sort of "formmail" script which you
can "use" in the action attribute of your form.

a much better solution than the mailto...

All you need is a simple form with a checkbox or radio button that says
"check if you like this product" for the checkbox or two radio buttons, one
with yes and one with no.

then have the form emailed to you .. can be using any server model (Cold
Fusion is one of them, but only one) or can be done using something as
simple as mailto:you (AT) you (DOT) com for the action of the form. Not as secure as a
server model, but you're not really sending secure information.

Very true if there is access to a cgi bin. I was presenting the easiest
solution since security is not really an issue for a question like "do you
like this site"

Well, that depends

Hi Nancy:
Thank you for replying. Your solution is pretty simple, however could I do
this also:
Is it possible to have a way for the form to email me within a time frame [24
hour peroid] how many clicks
were for yes and how many were for no ? That way I would just get one email
with a tally for the ya's and no's.
Is there an extension available that would walk a person through setting this
up to do that ? Create the form[s] and create the code ?
Also where can I find some tutorials on DW8 ?

Thanks
A lot
