Hi

I would like to add a section to my website that provides clients with an instant quote. They punch in several variables and the they would be provided with a quote. Several of my competitors are using a similar type of table. I copied the source code they are using to try to figure how to make something similar on my site but when I paste in the html code for some reason it doesn't work. Any help, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code:

<h2>Instant Quote</h2>  
              <form name="balance" method="post">
               <table id="calc">
               <tr>
                       <td class="right">Current Unpaid Balance: </td>
            <td class="field">
                 <input type="text" name="balance" value="" size="18" ></td>
        </tr>
            <tr>
            <td class="right">Current Value of Property:</td>
            <td class="field">
                <input type="text" name="price" value="" size="18"></td>
        </tr>
            <tr>
            <td class="right">Interest Rate (%):</td>
            <td class="field">
                <input type="text" name="interest" value="" size="18" class="inputField"></td>
        </tr>
         <tr>
            <td class="right">Payment History:</td>
            <td>
                 <select name="paymentHistory">
                     <!-- <option value="0.99"  >Perfect, Never Late</option>-->
                                      <option value="0.95" selected="true" >Basically a good Payor</option>
                                      <option value="0.68"  >Behind/Defaulted</option>
                                  </select>
                  <tr>
            <td class="right">&nbsp;</td>
            <td class="field"></td>
        </tr>
                  <tr>
               <td class="right" valign="top">WE WILL PAY =</td>
            <td height="100px" valign="top"><div id="payout"></div></td>
         </tr>
                                         <tr>
             <td class="right">
                 <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Calculate"></td>
             <td>
                 <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Reset"></td>
         </tr>
                              </table>
                          </form>
                              </div>
                 </div> <!-- end content -->

It doesn't work because you have only the client code (that html code you provided).

When you press the Calculate button, the entire form is submitted to a server side code and this server side code makes all the calculations.

This server side code cannot be copied in the same way you copied the html.

What voxink means is: this is probably not a job you want to do in html.
I would recommend you google your question + php/.net (what ever platform your site is built with) and try to find an example you can implement on your site, any way, I don't think that this is a simple copy&paste job.

Because there is no server page which takes the value of your client page. link this page first. after that you will do this.

I am doing something similar for a client's site I'm working on. Once I get it up and running I'll link it here so you have an example.
