How can I build a calculator in FrontPage 2003

[mustang25]

I'm trying to build a fairly simple calculation page. I simply want a few
"cells" for a user to input data and a section at the bottom of the page (or
on a separate page) that will add/subtract/multiply/divide the data that is
submitted. I know the formulas I want to use, but I don't know how to get
FrontPage to apply them. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Google for "javascript calculator" with the quotes.

Steve,

Thank you. I only had time to look at the first couple of results that came
up. There were some very good calculators there, but I'm looking for a way
for people to fill in a few text boxes which then plug into a formula I have
entered to give them their results. Specifically, I am trying to build a
Return on Investment (ROI) Calculator. Sales people are not generally very
good at math so I'm hoping I can get them to answer questions on my web page
(ie closing ratios, average sale, etc.) and let the page do the work for them.

With that said, I'll look at more of the Google results as time allows.

Thanks again.

You are going to have to look at the different ones, and edit one of them to suit your needs.

What you're talking about is a custom JavaScript. Study the calculators you
found to learn how to write your own.

try a 'calculator' script from http://javascript.internet.com

 

[Andrew Murray]

use one of the pre-made scripts, and see if you can modify it to suit your
own formalae.

Andrew,

Thank you very much! I copied a simple calculator and will see if I can
adapt it to my needs. The page you referred me to also had a Java "how-to"
manual that I'll refer to if I get stuck.
