i am wondering how i can have a box, and have the calculations a person may be doing expressed in really time, so no submit button is required or anything like that.

i have seen it down before but haven't been able to find any instructions on how to write it myself.

any feed back would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

There are plenty of events that you can use to trigger the calculation such as onFocus, onChange etc.

thanks for your help, i dont know y i didnt think of that myself, but i have one more question...

at that page, it does the calculations in real time, but if u look toward the bottom, the results are displayed in a sort of image, any idea how this could be done?

Looking at the code, it is not an image, but stored in a div, so i guess that they are using innerHTML to access it. If you wanted to show it as an image, you;ve just have to build 0-9 as seperate images with a decimal point and then for 123.45 you would have :

<img src="one.gif"><img src="two.gif"><img src="three.gif"><img src="decimalPoint.gif"><img src="four.gif"><img src="five.gif">

If you name all the images, you'll be able to do some changes very quickly to them as standard rollovers.

hey thanks for your help. i did it using div and innerhtml, and it worked out great. thanks again, ur a big help.
