Is there one you guys know of?

I picture a bunch of items on a web page, a little icon (say an
exclamation) that you click for each one.

That shows you readonly comments, from a specific diskfile per icon,
and allows you to add a new comment.

Any such beast around?

The original comment is where? On the web page or in your own disk
file? (It's an interesting concept either way.)
 
Hi Al, thanks for the response...

To make it more concrete: I have a website muchoswing.com, and a music
and dance page with a lengthy list of downloads.

There's an icon to "stream" (download) the video clip. My hope was to
have "!" icon beside each download icon, for comments. Different
visitors can see each others comments (readonly), so the file would
need to be on the server.

Assuing the video is called "myvideo.wmv", the text file might be
"myvideo.txt", solving the naming and uniqueness problem.

It's one of those things it's hard to believe nobody's done it this
late in the game, but maybe??

Javascript or some freeware stuff. It's so old it's got whiskers. (I
don't think I had the program to do that on my last laptop - it was on
the one before that.)

Putting their comments in the file would be something like a ... err
.... what do you call that page people leave comments on?

Or just maintain a database. Most web hosts give you at least one.

I doubt that, with millions of sites (billions?), there's not one that
does it.
 
For example, I've got the extropia guestbook, it's provided by my web
host. But it's limited to one per site.

But you can play with the Perl source, so it's a possible route.
Assuming there's nothing out there made for the task...

I wouldn't go to a "real" referential database, introduces dependencies
and I don't need any features. I might find a better host sometime...
