create a fange voting form in PHP

Hi,

I am trying to come up with the best way to create a range voting form.
Each candidate will have a "confidence" value associated with the choice.(using a pulldown menu?)
So for March Madness it would be:
Team .......
Confidence Value.....

each team could only be voted to finish the tournament in a particular place, and a value would be associated with that choice. The total choices possible determines the range of confidence value possible.
So....if there are 16 teams to vote on....the confidence value would range from 1-16. The voter would assign his highest available value to the team he was most confident in landing in that particular position.
Example: 16 teams - 16 conf vals -

if certain Duke will end up at #1 - then vote :
#1 = Duke, conf val 16

next, if almost as certain that NC will end up last - then vote:
#16 = NC, conf val 15

next most certain
"", conf val 14
and so on....

the tricky part is making sure that the form code validates each conf val so that it is used, but used on ly once....

ideally the form could return values that could then be imported into excel and compared.


has this been done somewhere?
Can you help ?

hope so....

thanks!!

 

It should read RANGE VOTING- ooops
