> Widget B _____             _____

> Total                             _____

> The line under Quantity is a user entered number, for both widgets of

> points.

> So it might look like this, simplified:
> Widget A costs $4.00 for one, $3.95/each for 2, 3.50/each for 4 or more
> etc. and B has a totally different cost.
>
> The total, for Widget A, Widget B, and The TOTAL total needs to update
> any time any of the quantity fields get or loose focus.
>
> Now I'm going to make another confession, I normally don't even pay that
> much attention to how webpages that I use work, so I don't even know if
> you can do client side what I just mentioned without something amazingly
> complex.
>
> How hard is the above to do, the calculating when getting and loosing
> focus I mean, and anyone know a tutorial that might get me started with
> applets. I hate to say it, but I really don't need to understand what
> I'm doing, I just need something I can muck with to make it work at this
> point.
