I am brand new to html and need a hand. I want to have a column of input fields with a column to the right which multiplies the number entered in the input field by a fixed price, and a total field at the bottom of the input column which totals the entries above. Heeeelp! huh.gif

Well, HTML can't do that. It's a mere markup language, not a programming language, so it can't really *do* things, make stuff happen. Sounds like a case for JavaScript if it isn't very important. If it is you should use some kind of server side scripting. smile.gif

Well, there's Section 2: Other Documents in the FAQ...

Server-side scripting is a program that runs on your server. Since it's on your server, you can control it and its behavior does not depend on browser configurations. Examples include PHP, CGI, and ASP.

Client-side scripting runs on the client (i.e., on the browser), which means that it may or may not run, depending on the browser configuration. JavaScript is the main client-side scripting language.

What do you want to _do_ with the total when you have calculated it?
