Calculating values in forms!

CooterBrown · Dec 3, 2001

I'm not a Javascript programmer so if anyone can help me with this, Father Christmas shall be good to you this year.

I'm having my users fill out a form. Basically they are entering numeric data into the input boxes. I want to do some calculations on that data, basically add and subtract, and pass the value of the results on to an output page or if that is to difficult document.write the value on the same page.

I am sure one of you gurus is just dying to help a fella out on this miserable Monday morning.

Thanks in advance for any help and remember, Father Christmas loves you!

Thanks for the script but is there a way to pass the value to another page, say a results page?

Father Xmas does make gf's however I believe they are of the inflatable nature! I will see if he can spare an extra for you!
