Please help a muppet! Just need to steer toward the development of basic web applications

Hi I have DW/CS5. I used it to create a partner Web site, www.wyevalleyarchery.co.uk, but now I want to create a very basic application.

What I have is a spreadsheet calculation with numbers and calculations in it. Its a mathematical model for a bow and arrows.

What I would do is to make available to my web site so users they can grant their bows and arrows.

I think I have to do, is to create a form with fields text and default value but the editable fields - in this way, they can use my numbers for example and then enter their own numbers according to their equipment.

What I think then I need is a button that says "do the math" - when the user clicks top app/spreadsheet calculates an output based on their data.

I'm pretty darn sure that DW can do that, without resorting to learning to code, but I'm too thick to find how to get there.

Can anyone provide either a beef on some readings or just an example which has 2 input boxes and a box with a button that adds the 2 inputs. Since I can increase it?

Many thanks and best regards,

Andy

Sorry if my last post was confusing. You must first decide if you want to do with the server-side or client-side code. Since you have no requirements to the persistence of the data, I suggest on the client side because it would lead to a better user experience.

JavaScript or Flash are probably your only two viable client-side options.

ASP = Active Server Pages. It's engine side script Microsoft server. It is not a language itself, but supports languages such as VBScript and Javascript script. I mentioned it only because you asked if there was Javascript server-side.  ASP, or "Classic ASP" as they are called now, was not been actively supported by Microsoft in more than 10 years, so if you need to learn the script out server I wouldn't recommend it. He was replaced by ASP.net, but it is exaggerated way for your needs.

If you decide you don't need features side script server (storage of the data in a database for example), then I suggest PHP.
