As part of my Sing a Song of Saffron contest, I want to allow folks to vote for their favorite as a separate people's choice award. However, I underestimated what was available to do this.

Turns out that my web host has strict permissions restrictions that have so far hosed any and all CGI-based polls I've found (doesn't like files being widely writable). Most of the Flash or PHP/MySQL polls I've found are either more than I want to pay (i.e. anything) or more complicated than I'm comfortable with. And the online polls seem to have problems with the number of answers I want (37).

Any suggestions? I need something that can list 37 options for voting, and ideally display the results. I'd prefer something I can embed on an htm page but I can adapt if need be. And anyone savvy enough in Flash to just whip something up would have my undying gratitude. Help?

How about this?

http://www.surveymonkey.com/

I've submited surveys through it sent by work, friends, what-have-you, and no issues.

I just completed a survey for a psychology experiment on SurveyMonkey and it was very easy to use.

I think I may use them and embed it in the page with (shudder) frames. Thanks!

They're who I was going to suggest. Every seminar I'm gone to in the past year (including the ones put on but federal/state government agencies) has sent me a survey through them.

Our paper uses Pollmentor. I don't know who signed us up for it, but we've been using it for years.
