Math

[DaProgrammer]

This may seem like a simple question to some of you, but how do you do simple math in HTML. For example....

I have 3 xml files with temperatures in them. I want when html file loads, it to average the 3 of them.

Thanks Much,
Eric

"This may seem like a simple question to some of you, but how do you do simple math in HTML"

The answer is: you don't.

HTML is a language for displaying stuff to a web browser - it can't do math or any other swishy stuff.

Things that can do math (and much more) are:
client-side script: usually javascript

server-side script: php / asp / jsp / cfm
server-side XSL

Hope this helps!
