Thanks, David:

I actually think I can do it with javascript (getting a bit off html
thread). Why can't the page that includes a small vote window (the 'calling
page') call an html code segment that just shows vote options, via
javascript (calling to a 'vote server'), and have the vote server capture
the ip number or cookie the client, and then redirect to the same calling
page, and then show the results by using cookie/ip address to track that the
link inside the vote window was clicked on.
