For example I want the use to enter a number and that number be divided by another number. But I am new to HTML and cant seem to locate it on the net. Any help is much appreciated. I am trying to make a simple calculation with a custom HTML screen. I see how easy it is to make the screen, just cant figure out the basic math HTML coding.

It should be easy to find a premade calculator (if that's what you need). For instance... http://www.htmlfreecodes.com/Calculator_in_your_page.htm Comments Have you tried looking up html widgets?

Let me know if you have any questions: <html> <head> <script type=text/javascript> </script> </head> <body> <form name=Division> Enter Dividend <input type=text name=dividend><br> Enter Divisor<input type=text name=divisor><br> <button type=button onclick= document.Division.quotient.value = parseFloat(document.Division.dividend.value)/parseFloat(document.Division.divisor.value)>Compute</button><br> Quotient <input type=text name=quotient DISABLED> </form> </body> </html> Comments There is probably a more elegant way of doing this (I just learned basic HTML tonight).
