We are setting up a new website using Bluepark. We would like to add a Quick Quotation calculator so our customers can get an idea of the cost of the blinds. I am a complete novice when it comes to HTML coding and have no clue! I was wondering if anyone could possible help us out? The calculator would need to multiply the width by length and then multiply it by the cost per square meter. We would like it to display the cost in pounds to our customers. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. biggrin.gif

Lots of tutorials if you google. This one looks like it fits the bill. Haven't read it but it looks OK.

Thank you that is very helpful. I am nearly there but just have one last obstacle... do you know how to change the result so it rounds up to 2 decimal points i.e. £34.05?

That's one thing I like about JS. Things are often in plain English. When you google something you want to to you often find a function named exactly like what you search for and it makes you think "Why didn't I think of that and just looked the function up?". biggrin.gif

<p><label for="width">Width (mm)</label> <input id="width" name="width" type="number" /></p>

<p><input type="submit" value="Calculate Price" /> or <input type="reset" value="Reset" /></p>

<p><label for="price">Price &pound;</label> <input id="price" name="price" type="number" /></p>

See if this works (I didn't test):

CODE
<script>
(function () {
function calculateprice(width, height) {
width = parseFloat(width);
height = parseFloat(height);
return (width * height * 0.00014);
}

var price = document.getElementById("price");
if (price) {
price.onsubmit = function () {
var exact_value = calculateprice(this.width.value, this.height.value);
var two_decimals = Math.round(exact_value*100)/100;
this.price.value = two_decimals;
return false;
};
}
}());
</script>
