Calculating fields...

Is there a way to calculate information entered in FW Pro fields, without linking to a database? Or is this accomplished with PHP or Javascript… I need to make a simple calculator. Thanks!

Yes, PHP or Javascript would be the first to look at.

Thanks. So I guess I need to start coding.

Take a look at the following web site http://cs-people.bu.edu/stevec/cs101/01summer/forms_calc.html. It describes a really basic use of a calculation in a form using php. Maybe this isn’t what you had in mind.

Javascript would just work on the page; PHP would have to submit to
the server and reload the page.

Right, and you would choose one over the other depending on whether
you needed to trust the results of that calculation. If it’s just a
convenience for your users, then go with JavaScript. It will be
faster for the users and less bandwidth used by your server.

Ooops. Just delete the period (full stop) at the end of the url.
