Calculations on a Form

V

I would like to offer a test on a form which will provide the viewer with a
result after they enter some values, and 'Click Here.'
I made up a simple form with 2 input fields, a hidden field with a
multiplier value in it, an answer field and 'Click Here' text item.
When the viewer enters their data, I want the 'Click Here' to add the 2
entered values, and multiply it by the hidden value, and then place the
result in the 'Total' field.
I presume the 'Click Here' click event would call a java script, bu I don't
know how to write it, where to place it, etc.

Any help you can provide will be appreciated. The code is below.

Thanks,

Vince G.

Vince:
Rather than try and fit a solution into your page, I would suggest that you
try this: http://javascript.internet.com/math-related/ad-calculator.html or
any of the other examples on this page:
http://javascript.internet.com/math-related/ Pick it apart, look at the code
and figure out how it works. Then you'll be able to fit it into your form.

That site has lots of great scripts, and I think I can piece together what I
need.
Thanks for the info.
