hi,

I don’t recall ha ing seen such an action, check on actionsforge,

otherwise just use a script and HTML - paste it.

Not that I know of. But what are you calculating, and do you need to trust it? If you’re making a “convenience feature” for the customer to estimate her total, then you can use JavaScript to calculate just about anything. I even made an Apple Calculator clone one night: Calculator

But if you need to trust these calculations, then wrap the quantity numbers and SKUs up in a form and post them to your server. Look up the price on the server and do all the math yourself, in PHP or another server-side language, and you won’t find yourself suddenly selling 35 $200 widgets for $0.12 or something like that. After all, if it came from the browser, you can only trust it as far as you can spit a live rat.

Ok. I got a bunch of choices on calculators to choose from. I was just hoping that there might have been an action hidden out there.

Makes sense there is not. Its overly complex and deals directly with your choices of variable and such.
