First of all apologies for the poorly phrased subject! Couldn't quite fit my query in! 😉

Secondly, "Wow!" I installed this the other day and I'm so impressed! Thank you!

I've done a simple HTML based 'Customer Feedback Form' for my Dad's site which works perfectly and I'm now wondering if it is possible to use Chronoforms to generate an 'instant estimate'? So based on the options the user chooses in the form can I return a page that has calculated an estimate?

Sorry if this is an obvious question but I'm *getting there* with HTML but javascript and php are still a bit of a mystery for me... I don't mind having a go though!

Many thanks in advance,

Vikki

Hi Vikki,

The quick answer to your question is 'Yes' you can do almost anything with the data you collect.

The official answer to this is to validate the input, store the data in the database, transfer to an onSubmit page, pull the data back and do whatever calculations you need there to show the estimate.

PS You can do the same inside ChronoForms but it needs some hacking

Yes, if you need to calculate an estimate then you need to do some PHP OR javascript coding, plain HTML or the component itself won't do this for you, it gives you the ability to add your own code.

Cheers
