Super Ajax Polling/Voting System using JQuery, Ajax, PHP and MySQL

Author: Zeeshan Rasool | Aug 8, 2010

AJAX, JQuery, MySQL, PHP, Web Design

Polling system or Voting system is very common in web sites. Voting can be about your site or blog or some other thing just to get the user attention and get your idea about your product.
I always tries to provide the users of 99Points.info some common but useful scripts which makes their effort succeeded. So after some voting system tutorials like
Digg style Voting now I have come to simple ajax based polling system. This is another series of Jquery. Hope You like it and don’t forget to subscribe and give your feed back in comments. Thanks !
