Switching....

I write standard EXE, DLL, and OCX projects. Now, I want to create a poll on my website that will save/retrieve user's input; all done via internet browsers. What is the best way to do it? I tried using DHTML, i've created all the visuals (option buttons, textboxes, etc), but the code for DHTML is no where close to VB, even controls are named differently. Of course, I can create Active X control, which is pure vb code, but to view the control, user must accept a security warning and that's no good. So what do I do? What language do I use? If I must use DHTML, can someone send me some basic examples/tutorials? Once I understand the basics, I can figure out the rest. Thanks.

Do you have access to a database, like M$ SQL server or MySQL? Do you have access to a scripting language like PHP or ASP? It would be far easier to use the above mentioned methods than to create an ActiveX control.

No, not yet; bellsouth server doesn't support ASP or PHP.

No one trusts ActiveX controls from the web. The smart folks don't anyway. Go with ASP. You can use server side VBscript which you will be more familiar with.
