Set up Voting Procedure

[igotit]

In my products file I have a products layout with a Products_Filter portal showing all our products. When you click on any row it triggers a script that shows a picture and full description of the product below the portal in the “ProductInfo” field. Once you have clicked on the portal row you can then vote on the product you selected. Either Yes or No. You don’t have to vote, you just have the option to. Special Note: It needs to be set up so you can only vote if you are a "Customer" as shown in the "Status" field in the "SignUp" field in the Customer file.

What I want to have happen once a vote is made is have the field called “Vote” on each row of the Products_Filter portal, show the results of their vote either Yes or No (Its left empty if there is no vote.)

My thinking is you would click the "Vote" field in the portal row that would trigger a script that will bring up a dialog box where you can vote Yes or NO. Oops, I just realized that dialog boxes do not work with IWP. How would you do this?

I'll also need a couple calculation field that will show the number of Yes and the number of No votes and another calculation field that will show each vote by percentage of the total votes for that product.

Can you guys help me with this?

Tabs works under IWP, make a fake dialogbox on the tab you lead your user to, remember that the tabbed layout not nessersarily requires an outline. Take a look at this:

BTW do I think your list should be a selfjoin portal, where the clicking on a line issues a GTRR...
