When I tried to get to the vote site to cast my vote below is what appeared in Netscape. I exited, restarted the browser and the vote form finally appeared when I got back to the site, but a prompt now appears saying something about no more or less than three votes even though I selected three.
Also, aren't there more than 11 total entries? (check out the value of TOTALENTRIES below).
Do I have to use Internet Explorer instead?
Well, good luck to everyone!! Robert



function validate(frm) {

if (frm.namefield.value.length < 1) {
alert("Please enter your name.");
return false;
}
if (frm.emailfield.value.length < 5) { //There are a minimum of 5 charaters in an email address
alert("Please enter your email address.");
return false;
}
var emailaddress = "mailto:[email protected]"; //Where the form data will be sent
var element;
var totalentries = 11; //total number of entries
var totalvotes = 0; //vote counter
var body = emailaddress + "?subject=F1 voting&body=Name:" + frm.namefield.value + "\n" + "Email:" + frm.emailfield.value + "\n" + "Selections: ";

for (var cnt = 2; cnt < (totalentries + 1); cnt++){
element = frm[cnt];
if (element.type == "checkbox"){
if (element.checked == true){
body = body + element.value + "\n";
totalvotes++;
}
}
}
if (totalvotes == 3){
frm.action = body;
}
else{
alert("You must select 3 entries.\nNo More, No Less.");
return false;
}
return true;
}

Have at it. folks!

Aaaaa.. no. ;)

I love holding people in suspense plus it helps stop ballot stuffing. There were some problems in previous years that makes this necessary. This is also the reason I went to a different and much simpler voting format. Sorry, gotta wait X-W.

You're right so I fixed it. Thanks.

Ok, I voted. But I use yahoo email instead of outlook so when I logged in at yahoo everything was there except the address the voting email was supposed to go to. What I did was sent the email to one I had for you ([email protected]) or something like that. Just letting you know so if you get a voting email that is not to the voting address you'll understand.

By the way, to all who entered this contest, this was the hardest contest I have voted for there were so many great entrys. It is obvious that the quality of the work Blender users are doing is going up fast. Well done to all!!

paradox: I had the same problem, but I digged a little in the source and here's what it's suppose to be:

[email protected]

for anyone who could have that problem too.

If you want I could write a perl script for you that'd add all the votes automatically when the person hits "submit". The email system is secure I suppose...but its still based on the honor system. But the contest is incredible and congratulations to all the contestants for taking part in this...a entirely new format of art that exists largely underground because very few people realize that it doesn't take a major movie studio to produce amazing art. Great work everyone! We're all on the bleeding edge of innovation and technology and these pieces of work show its serious, and not just a geek trend.

Thanks for the words of support, Desoto. I may take you up on the perl script offer for next year.

On another note...

Voting for the 2003 Blender F1 Challenge is CLOSED.
The vote are now being tallied and the top 5 favorites are being contacted. The final results will be posted this week.
Thanks to all who voted, it went fairly smooth.
