HTML forms & calculators

Does anybody have any experience with creating forms to be used as calculators online

I can setup a spreadsheet and get it to do calculations automatically using if, sum, etc commands but I just cant figure out how to do it in html in a form

The form I want to create wil have drop down menus so if the first menu = 1 and the second drop down = 1 i want it to return a result based on one calculation. but if the first menu=2 and the second menu =1 i want it to perform a second (different) calculation and so on

Any help greatly appreciated.

excellent, thanks for that

how do I get it to multiply?

Look for this in the form

form.Answer.value = A + B;

and change to

form.Answer.value = A * B;

You may want to change the button label as well

Here is the link to the muliplier page
