Wondering if any JavaScript experts would be kind enough to help me with a small request.
I would like to add a simple form to my site, that will accept numeric input (2-3 variables), perform some math operations on it, then compare the result to list of widget models - and output those that will fit the user's parameters.
Some widgets have "extensions" available - if the script can take that into account, and add notes to the output (i.e. "Widget Type 34 will fit your situation, but only with the additional Type Q extension unit") - that would be perfect!
I do not know JS, so I can't write this myself... and after spending ~2 hours googling for it, I'm asking for help here.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a script that does this, or can let me know what having one written would involve, I'd appreciate it!

This is quite a specific application, you won't find a one stop solution on Google as it's a little more than a few standard commands.

How many widget's? This is the sort of thing that's normally done on the server side with a database. Use Perl or something like that.
If there's only a few then JS is usable, but not recommended as it's not compatible with all users' systems.
State your requirements in the Perl forum and I'll be happy to help, but I don't think anyone here would recommend building an app like this in pure JS.
