Requirements: - plug 'n' play type thing - preferably doesn't need a db (but okay if it does) - will run in an include or iframe or such like - doesn't come with a 5-page instruction manual I'm not too bothered about loads of features and configurability, just something quick and simple. After much a-googling I've found loads with oodles of features that do loads of clever things, but on this occasion I just need something quick and easy. Anyone any ideas? _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate. Practice love. ~~

The slight problem is that the chap who wrote it who's Norwegian seems to have changed his site and it no longer appears there. If you're interested I can send you the files for it. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to Kitka)

That appears to have been the major reason it is no longer available. I found his demo still in Google's cache _____________________________ Kitka It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. (in reply to womble)

It's not something that the client I've used it for has mentioned. Might explain why it disappeared! _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to Kitka)

You can get one at Bravenet that's just plug n play but with little adverts for bravenet tools. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

The guestbook I've gone with in the end on this current project is this one I found via Hotscripts: http://www.phpjunkyard.com/php-guestbook-script.php It took a little tweaking to figure out where and which bits of the rest of the code I needed to add in for the rest of the page to integrate it with the layout I've already got, but after a few false starts and php warnings I got it working. If it seems okay I may use it for something upcoming I'm going to need a guestbook for. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.

The one I'm using seems okay, and with a little tweaking I might even be able to get it xhtml strict and accessible. I think the major problem's gonna be the Captcha style 'type in the numbers you see' bit which is gonna be a PITA, though maybe if I switch it for something like the question Mike Cherim uses in his accessible contact form, that might be do-able. Of course if I can find something xhtml/accessible straight of the box, that would be even better, but this one'll do for now. It's not very often I do anything that requires a guestbook, but on this occasion it was a "must have". At least as it's styled with an external CSS file though it's pretty easy to style to fit in with the rest of the site. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.
