Im trying to host a contest and each nominee gets a profile page on my site. How do I go about adding a 'vote button' on each page where the results could be visibly tracked?
First, what type of CMS are you using? Depending on your setup it may be easy...or require lots of manual work. What you'd need is a database that tracks the vote counts for each person. You'd then need to make a button in the HTML and have it increase the vote count when pressed. Finally, you'd have a display area somewhere that would pull in the current data and make it visible. I would search Stack Overflow for code or a tutorial since I'm sure it's been asked there before.
