New year greetings Everyone ,
I would be grateful, if anyone Could share with me the benefit of their coldfusion web programming experience by converting this ASP POLL script into a directly equivalent ( or improved ) COLDFUSION POLL script which like the ASP version would prevent multiple voting from the same visitor or computer.
Many thanks for your valued efforts in advance.

'Two varibles are passed into the db
'u_input is the value if the user entered a response to
'the vote/poll question....IP is the address of the user
u_input=request.form("u_input")
u_ip=request.servervariables("remote_addr")
' if the user did not enter anything in the poll on this visit
' then display the poll question and possible choices
if u_input = "" then
%>
<form method="post" action="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>">
<p>Question Goes Here<br>
<input type="radio" value="1" name="u_input">A<br>
<input type="radio" value="2" name="u_input" >B<br>
