   Hello,

   I would like to place a calculator on a WP page.

   This is a form where the user enters some numbers into text boxes and presses 'submit' and the application does some calculation.

   ie. mortgage calculator

   Is there a tutorial where I can find how to code something like this. IT doesn't have to be a plugin.

   Thanks samboll,

   But I was using the mortage as an example. I really would like to know how to create forms that process information and give results.

   For example, if I want to estimate how much it will cost to add a lawn given the dimensions, type of grass, type of sunlight, how often I am able to water, etc.

   Thanks.

   you need a webapp that processes data. thats your 'form'.

   Do you know PHP? That could be done in PHP

   Do you know Flash/Actionscript? That could really be done in Flash

   if you dont have a good grasp of either of those than you're better off to find a solution that already exists, or pay someone to code a custom one for you.

   In the case of most online calculators, those tend to need custom solutions.

   That's really easy to do. You probably can get a custom developed plug-in for cheap. Check http://www.joeswebtools.com/wordpress-plugins/calculator/

   Is there anyway that I can modify the mortgage calculator by changing property tax rate or mortgage insurance rate.
