form submit dumb question

I'm sorry, but I can't find any information anywhere on how to do what ought
to be a simple and obvious function...

I'm trying to create a "simple" form to perform a client side action that
gives a different price based on 3 variables selected by the user. All I
want to do is set up a situation where a specific number is posted to an
empty field within the page.

I hope this requires a simple java script. If this is a lot more complicated
than I'm thinking, I wonder if someone could point me to a tutorial or
sample script that might help me through this.

You can try the excellent CalcuateForm extension from Jaro -

It works beautifully for doing things like this.

Thanks for the advice. I checked it out, and that seems more complex than
what I need. I don't need to calculate anything. I just have a list of set
prices that need to be supplied depending on the selections of the user. In
this case 15 price points. Which price point is displayed depends on a
combination of selections made in the three form objects.

For instance (to make the question clearer) the price would be different if
the user selects different options for the same object. I don't need to add
prices and calculate a total. Like the stock-photo houses use to calculate
cost of an image depending on size and print run. No math. Just different
price options for any item.

Oh, I see. It's not arithmentic calculation, it's a combinatorial one.

Mick White should be able to fix you right up! Yo, Mick!
