hi all

i just wrote a script that calculates some shipping costs for a company and every time the form is submitted the results of my calculations flash on my screen and then vanish. does anyone know how to make the changes permanent. below is the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>
 
<title>js calculator</title>

<script>

function calculate()

{

var val = document.auto_compatible.quantity.value;

var val2 = document.auto_compatible.type.value;

var vals = val2.split("@");

var final = vals[1] * val;

var full = vals[2] * val;

var savings = vals[3] * val;

document.getElementById("final_auto_compatible").innerHTML= final;

document.getElementById("full_auto_compatible").innerHTML= full;

document.getElementById("savings_auto_compatible").innerHTML= savings;
 
}

</script>

</head>
 
<body>

<table width="800">

    <tr>

        <td width="153">&nbsp;</td>

        <td>Weight</td>

        <td>Quantity</td>

        <td>Final Cost</td>

        <td>Full Rate</td>

        <td>Savings</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td colspan="6">Auto Compatible Letters</td>

    </tr>

        <form name="auto_compatible" onSubmit="calculate()">

        <tr>

        <td width="153">&nbsp;</td>

        <td>

            Weight: <select name="type">

            <option value="1@.37@.39@.02">1oz</option>

            <option value="2@.607@.63@.023">2oz</option>

            </select>

        </td>

        <td>Quantity: <input name="quantity" width="1"></td>

        <td id="final_auto_compatible"></td>

        <td id="full_auto_compatible"></td>

        <td id="savings_auto_compatible"><input type="submit"></td>

        </form>

    </tr>
 
</table>

hi pal,
if the form isn´t really submitted ,
and send to a cgi.
use this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
  <table width="800">

    <tr>

        <td width="153">&nbsp;</td>

        <td>Weight</td>

        <td>Quantity</td>

        <td>Final Cost</td>

        <td>Full Rate</td>

        <td>Savings</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td colspan="6">Auto Compatible Letters</td>

    </tr>

        <form name="auto_compatible" onSubmit="return false;">

        <tr>

        <td width="153">&nbsp;</td>

        <td>

            Weight: <select name="type">

            <option value="1@.37@.39@.02">1oz</option>

            <option value="2@.607@.63@.023">2oz</option>

            </select>

        </td>

        <td>Quantity: <input name="quantity" width="1"></td>

        <td id="final_auto_compatible"></td>

        <td id="full_auto_compatible"></td>

        <td id="savings_auto_compatible"><input onclick="calculate()"type="submit"></td>

        </form>

    </tr>
 
</table>
