hi, i am pretty new to asp and web scripting in general.

i am creating a form with a number of text boxes. in two of the boxes i input values - total amount and amount spent. i want to calculate the percentage spent in a third text box.

my challenge is that i want the result to be displayed immediately i enter both values, without submitting the form. the issue is i have to submit the form to a validation web page before sending it to the server, and i am aware that a form can only be posted to only one webpage.

can i achieve this with asp (not asp.net)?

you don't need asp for that you can simply use html and javascript. More detail on "immediately" is required??

oh really? this is what i mean by 'immediately'. i type in a value for total amount, then i input a value for amount spent, then the percentage spent is computed the moment i exit the 'amount spent' box.

I know something about onChange in javascript but i do not know how to write the code.

Please help me out.
