Very simple milage calculator needed - html for sharepoint?

[valve90210]

Hi All

where I work they are putting together an intranet page for the accounts department and they would like to include a very simple mileage calculator for use when filling in expenses claims.

It only needs to be a really simple thing, no more than a box to enter the number of miles into, a button to press to enter the amount and then a box displaying the answer formatted into a currency format.

Is this something that would be simple to put together and then add into a sharepoint page?

If so can anyone help me out? The only maths needed would be to mulitply the number of miles by the mileage rate (45p per mile) so a simple ? x 0.45=

If any one can help I would be most grateful!

sounds like you just need a little javascript in there

validate the input boxes too, so it flags up if ppl are putting mental numbers in there

in all honesty it would probably be something that would be eaiser for you to do yourself (and would be do-able) just by having a look at a basic javascript tutorial
