Putting a Calculator in a Web Page

[406]

Does any one know how to add a Calculator into a web page. I need to add a function so a customer puts the size of their garden in cell and it gives them a figure that is multiplied by a fixed number.

It actually needs to multiply A x B x C (C is a fixed number) = Total

Thanks in advance

The easiest solution is to use javascript. The best solution is to use a server-side script to process the data. Depending on what platform your server is you'd need to figure out what language to write that in. For most platforms though, perl is available and quick to use for such an application.

like this?

the code is here



edit:: for the constant value, it'd be easy enough to change c to be a hidden field within the form, or ignore the c field altogether and simply multiply by a given number in the function.

All I get when I click your link is the calculation, not the code

All you need to do is right-click and select View Source from the menu. The calculation all happens on the client (in the web browser) no server side nonsense at all and is EXACTLY what I would have done - good job Stefan...

Great, thanks. Sorry, being a bit of a div today

the second link there was a plain text file - should have loaded up in IE easy enough.

How do I hide value c so it does not show?

I am hopeless at this sort of stuff, born too early

change < input type="number" size=4 value=20 name="c" >

to < input type="hidden" value=?? name="c" >

where ?? is the value of your constant.

(remove the spaces after < and before the >, I've only added them so you can see the code on PH)
