You can Google 'javascript calculator' and get tons of results you can use to model yours with. Mark Comments JavaScript calculators running in an HTML Doc screen work exceedingly well.

Shane Smith I hate code! Posts: 37 Reg: Jun 19, 2012 Las Vegas 5,820	06/23/12 04:41 PM (13 years ago) Ok, I found bunches of groovy calcs, but still not sure I implement them to work within my app. Is their a tutorial for anything like this or should I just keep posting questions here. My questions are very newbie, but I am not really finding and other helpful resources explaining ow this is done. Can anyone point me in the right direction? For example how would I get the code below to look the same in the app as it does on a browser? <html> <form name="calculator"> <table border=4> <tr> <td> <input type="text" name="text" size="18"> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input type="button" value="1" onclick="calculator.text.value += '1'"> <input type="button" value="2" onclick="calculator.text.value += '2'"> <input type="button" value="3" onclick="calculator.text.value += '3'"> <input type="button" value="+" onclick="calculator.text.value += ' + '"> <br> <input type="button" value="4" onclick="calculator.text.value += '4'"> <input type="button" value="5" onclick="calculator.text.value += '5'"> <input type="button" value="6" onclick="calculator.text.value += '6'"> <input type="button" value="-" onclick="calculator.text.value += ' - '"> <br> <input type="button" value="7" onclick="calculator.text.value += '7'"> <input type="button" value="8" onclick="calculator.text.value += '8'"> <input type="button" value="9" onclick="calculator.text.value += '9'"> <input type="button" value="" onclick="calculator.text.value += ' '"> <br> <input type="button" value="c" onclick="calculator.text.value = ''"> <input type="button" value="0" onclick="calculator.text.value += '0'"> <input type="button" value="=" onclick="calculator.text.value = eval(calculator.text.value)"> <input type="button" value="/" onclick="calculator.text.value += ' / '"> <br> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </html> Comments Ok, I found bunches of groovy calcs, but still not sure I implement them to work within my app. Is their a tutorial for anything like this or should I just keep posting questions here.

Shane Smith I hate code! Posts: 37 Reg: Jun 19, 2012 Las Vegas 5,820	06/24/12 03:14 PM (13 years ago) Ok, Lets disregard that last code sent...I have moved away from it. Here is the link to the site that I am using to try to understand and build this simple calculator for my app. http://javascript.about.com/od/guidesscriptindex/a/calc.htm I got totally lost by step 5. Here is a link to the code I have written based on this site. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3112854/battcalc.html The only thing I don't like about the current code I have is that I want the calculate button to live in the "total:" row. Not sure how to do that. I also need to add the formula...which is where I got lost. This is a simple formula: Units: = number multiplied by 2 Changes = number Days = number Total = Units x Changes x Days Can anyone help me out and get me headed in the correct direction? Thanks!!!
