Auto Calculate a Form in FP03

[frontpagecustoms.com]

Is is possible to create a form in FP03 that will auto calculate? For
instance, I'm selling DVD's. I want to create a form that will take
their quantity and multiply it by the price to give them the total.

Thanks for your help.

You can do this with JavaScript. See http://javascript.internet.com for
some examples such as
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/confirm-order.html or
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/order-form.html

After just a quick look I can see an effective use, but I think the
creation of that would be a littel time consuming if someone wanted to
order 100 or more of an item. Here's an example of what I'm talking
about: http://www.sdag.org/atripleshot/sacrifice/group_registration.asp

The section I'm referring to is right under the heading Registration
Information.

Thanks for your help and input.

Based on the way you have the page set up JavaScript would be the best way
to go. Why not just continue to use ASP to handle this? you would make
this like a typical shopping cart where the database holds the pricing and
other information. Then the user selects a quantity and when the go to the
next page you'd take the price from the database x the quantity and display
it.

Hmmm... Interesting thoughts. Do you have any examples I can view? I
feel I'm only scratching the surface of asp and could use some great
tutorials on the possibilities.
