Intro and html question

Get Started
1

Hello, My name is Matt, as in my user name. I came across this forum in search of HTML codes/help. I hate to be the newb who just drops by with a “hit-n-run” question and never to be seen again BUT I haven’t found my answers and this place does look like a place that I might just frequent and someday be able to give back. alright enough of the intro!

I have recently “developed” a website using Coffee Cup softare, VSD. I want to write HTML code into my page(s). I have never written code but know I can do it, atleast on a basic copycat level.

I want to create content that allows the user to imput numeric value and have it calculated with a certain formula. Is this possible with HTML or do I need a different script, and If so, can i write that script in the HTML option on my web program.

Hope that all made sense!

Thankk you,

Matt

Sounds like a classic Javascript solution. http://www.google.com/search?aq=1&oq=calculate+user+input+j&gcx=w&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=calculate+user+input+javascript

Instead of trusting that site, read this site to know why we don’t recommend it: http://w3fools.com/

I would like to go for W3school. It’s good really good website and i have learned a lot from this website. I had started learning HTML from w3school and have learned a lot.

Matt: if you don’t want to waste time unlearning bad habits, stay away from W3Schools, who by the way have nothing to do with the W3C.
And keep your Javascript out of the markup. Call an external script.
