It should, try it again. If you have expressions make sure to enclose them in brackets. And make sure you are using something that can at least be converted to a number.
(Which is done automatically - no need to parseInt)
Hope it helps, BJ.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function multiply(){
var ans= (document.form.one.value)*(document.form.two.value)
document.form.answer.value=ans;
}
</script>
</head>
<body><form name="form">
<input type="text" name="one" size="2">
<input type="text" name="two" size="2">
<input type="text" name="answer" size="2">
<input type="button" value="answer" name="now" onClick="multiply()"></form>
</body>
</html>Hope it helps, BJ.
No you cannot multiply in HTML. It is a mark-up language, not a programming language. However, as bangers pointed out, you can use JavaScript to do it.

The javascript is great. I can use it. Thanks both for your input. As a starting html-er I can use every input
