HI donna22,
You can do almost any calculation in a ChronoForms Form! But it's very hard to answer without knowing what calculations you want to do.
In general, there are two ways to do calculations: [list]
In the browser using JavaScript so that the user sees the results. You can save the results of these by having the JavaScript change the results of a field, usually either a text input or a hidden input.In the server you can do calcuations using PHP in the OnSubmit boxes, these are not visible to the user - unless you re-show the form or use AJAX - and are possibly a more flexible as it's quite possible to look up information from database tables or from other sites.[/list]

i will be computing for an online loan..really have no idea how to do this using chronoforms..i've done the basic add/edit of entry..but i dont know how to do computations..please help..
Hi donna22,
Please use Google to find a script that does the kind of calculation that you need - there are thousands out there of all kinds of quality so be careful. We can probably then help you adapt the script to use it with ChronoForms.
OR write a complete specification for your calculation - create the complete form with all the fields and write down **exactly** what calculation you need and we may be able to help with that.
Sorry but it's completely impractical to give you a general tutorial on 'doing computations'.
