In many cases it could very well be a private IP address and hence of dubious value. If the accuracy of the poll is important then only let registered and logged in users take part in the poll. Even then, depending on your registration procedures, you may have people registering multiple times to cast multiple votes. In short there is no surefire way of preventing people from voting more than once. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* "From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere." -- Dr. Seuss */
