Possible?

Ok, what I need is the following..

I have 2 list boxes which a user selects values from. When they press Calculate, I want it to then take these values and along with some other variables, do some math and then on a popup page display the results.

the prob is, my server doesn't allow ASP (they say it takes too much bw up or something)

Is it at all possible to acomplish this in Javascript or CGI (or anything else) without using Cookies??

Thanks

I would think this is the exact thing Javascript is for. You don't need a server to do this, Javascript will do it for you. I haven't used Javascript, and my book's in the other room. If you need actual code, post the page and I'll add the JavaScript to it.

Code:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="newpage.html">
                <table width="31%" border="1" align="center">
                  <tr> 
                    <td> 
                      <div align="center"><b>Amount</b></div>
                    </td>
                    <td> 
                      <div align="center"><b>Days</b></div>
                    </td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr> 
                    <td> 
                      <center>
                        <select name="Amount" size="1">
                          <option value="10000" selected>Below 10,000</option>

what you can do is

don't put a submit button but a simple button

on the click of this button build an url with all you form info

ex: "../myPopUpPage.html?amount=" + document.forms[0].amount.value + "&days etc...

then pop up the new window with this url, on the loading of
your new window, parse the url to gather all the needed info
and then use javascript to write you html

document.write "<html>"
etc...

i hope i did'nt confused you!!
