 * 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/](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.
