Is there a way to allow users to electronically sign their name on a web page form?

Do you mean that you want the user to be able to attach a signature file or literally sign their name?

What these users are requesting is that they have the ability to sign a report that is posted monthly on our intranet page. Now however a signature can be shown on this report, I guess that'll be the route I'd take.
Now how are signatures digitally sign on a form? That's what I don't know.

Individuals obtain a digital signature that is theirs and theirs alone in much the same way that e-commerce sites have things like the VeriSign certification.

This digital signature file is under their strict control. They effectively 'add' this to the file, which of course needs to be strictly controlled, as their authorisation of such a file.
