Adding a comment box to a page..

Can I have my viewers submit a comment onto my website so its visible for all to see and does not disappear until I choose to remove it.

Possibly into a scrolling box much the same as I am doing here
I do not want a forum or chat room just a box where someone can put a comment..

I assume some sort of database will be involved to store the comments and put them back into the box when viewed..

The website is an old boys club website with a limited and diminishing number of viewers spread around the world and a box with personal comments would be a nice touch.

@NogDogJun 20.2006 — This would require some server-side programming, preferably in conjunction with a database on the server. So the first question is, does the web host where site currently resides support any server-side programming (PHP, Perl, ASP, .NET, etc.) and secondarily does it provide any DBMS for your use (MySQL, MS SQL, etc.)?

If so, then your next question is: do you try to create a custom script and web page interface, or just locate and download one of the scores of pre-made scripts that are available on the web for free or very cheap?

@glenvernauthorJun 20.2006 — Yes the host does provide server side aids such as Php and MySql.

If there is a ready made that will do this then for me that is the way to go as I have no knowledge of PHP or MySql coding.

Success!
