I recently obtained a textmarks account in which they will relay all incoming text messages to my url. The only problem I have run into is using the gdform on my site (hosted by godaddy). I've played around with it and the only hold up is understanding how to get gdform to recieve and post the incoming messages on a specific html page. Nothing fancy (no emailing or other tricks), just list each incoming message line right above or below the previous one.

Anyone have anything already created like this that I can work with?

can't see you getting a GoDaddy prebuilt form to do it, it's usually more than enough hassle getting them to do what they are intended for never mind something different

Without knowing the exact ins and outs, it sounds like all you need is a page just to accent submitted data (no visible elements needed) and store it in some kind of datastore along with the data and time, then a page that simply reads from the datastore and displays it in chronological order.

Thanx.

But could an html page not recieve the data and list it without all the middle stuff?
Sort of like a basic comment/feedback page?

nope. ASP only runs when when it is called by a request from a user agent.

Certainly it could receive the data when sent by the service but when the script ends it would be gone, unless you save it somewhere.

Comment/feedback forms all have some way of storing data, it doesn't just exist in limbo somewhere. Otherwise it would be there from the time it was displayed by the person who submitted it, then gone forever when they closed their browser.
