Hmmm, somebody else recently had this exact same issue. If you are needing the user to, say, enter '10' in field one and '20' in field two then see '30' instantly displayed on the page without submitting the information then you need to use javascript or something else. Perl processes info that is sent to the script and gives the user back output, in this case html. So what you need to do is write a static html page that does what you want and make sure that your script outputs the code correctly.

The user will see an HTML created by a cgi that contains all the fields that need to be filled with those numeric values. What I'm having trouble with is that I need some fields to add themselves and display the total in other field, but when I make a change in one field I need to see the total updated in the same html that the user is working with. Your help will be appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
