Does anyone know where I might find a tutorial on how to create a calculator form? All that I need to do is take the values of 2 form fields, perform a simple operation when the calculate button is clicked and output the result. Any tips or direction to resources would be appreciated.

This is not a tutorial, but here is the source code for a simple 5 button calculator at Javascript Source.

Does that help?

easy stuff really there's a similar thing on JSS (http://www.javascriptsource.com).

If you can use PHP, it's really easy to do. I just recently did something like what your on about.

If you know any JS, You shouldn't really have too much problem doing it yourself really though just remember to give yourself 2 text boxes (<INPUT>) and one list menu (+,-,*,\) then make it so that the JS gets the first variable uses the second variable (+,-,*,\) with the last variable. (ie (PHP) $1box $opt $2box)

I've made a few calculators this way (VAT calc, currency converter etc). if you don't mind using PHP, I could make a really quick script...

Hi Wenslock,

That would be great if you would be willing to do that! You can e-mail me at bblock@ualberta.ca. Thanks so much.

I think I will bang away at the JS version just for learning though.

Thanks again.
