Completely stuck with this problem, re a calculator

[becky gelke]

Hello, I am new here, and have come in desparation. I am rebuilding a site for a friend, they wanted it to be a copy of their original site (with a few improvements) but under their own web address. My problem is I have absolutely no idea how to get the fee calculator to work, all the rest of the site is complete. I am able to insert the original form into my page, but dont know how to get the form to work, I was hoping one of you guys could look at the original form and tell me what is missing.....PLEASE

Here is the original site with the fee calculator on it: http://www.prophetdatasystems.com.au/regent/FeeCalc.asp

They actually want the exact same calculator on here: http://www.regentsettlements.com.au/feecalculator.html

Unfortunately nobody at the company has a clue how to do it, and the guy that originally built the site has died suddenly (hence why they want to keep true to his design)

I realise I will have to change the file extension of my page to .asp, but thats about all I know.

I realise the only thing that probably needs doing is locating the page/file that is doing the calculations, but I am not good enough at locating that file in the html of the original page........but of course I could be wrong.



FANTASTIC if you can help me

If I understand you right, all this form does is take a figure, do a few simple sums with it, and output the results. So you have two options:

1. Find that page on the server - the "FeeCalc.asp" one - and have a look at the ASP code. That's where he's doing his sums (the page posts the form to itself), you can probably just copy and paste the code into your new page (of course, your right in that you'll need to rename your new page with an ".asp" extension). If you're unfamiliar with ASP then you should be able to paste the contents up here and we can help you get the relevant bits out and working.

2. If you don't have access to the original files (which would seem a bit weird, someone at the company should have the server FTP details or something) then you'll need to find out what the sums are from the business. Presumably they have all this information (the "if you pay x for a house then you'll pay y in stamp duty", etc) because they'll have told him when he build the thing originally?

Any help?

Thanks ever so much Spudhead. The only person that had all the original code is the guy that built the site, and he has tragically died, nobody at the firm had anything to do with the site as they are all web novices, which is why they asked me to sort it for them. The only thing they have sent me is the original page and this document. (below) Unfortunately asp is not my bag, I have never done any before, so I am totally stuck. I am more than happy to pay someone if they can write/create me a working script, and ell me what to do with it.

I'm sure you can find someone to rewrite the script for you(I would BTW) But, it's seems like a big waste of money for you. The FeeCalc.asp file should be on the server, and you should be able to copy that into your code.
Can you do a search on the server and find the file?

good luck;

I am afraid I dont know how to do that (she says presuming I dont simply click on http://www.prophetdatasystems.com.au/regent/FeeCalc.asp
and view source, which I have done) I presume there is more to it than that. Nobody has ftp acces to the server as the original guy that built the site actually died suddenly a few months ago, hence the reason they are so keen to keep with his design!! If you know how I can access that script PLEASE tell me then as you say my probs will be over.

[degsy]

The guy who wrote the script has nothing to do with FTP access. The people who pay for the hosting will have or be able to get the FTP details.

The people who pay for the hosting will have or be able to get the FTP details.The guy that built the site originally was simply hosting it on his own webspace, so he had all the details, ie account number passwords ftp access codes etc etc. If youu look at the actual url without all the /'s and folders after it you will see its just a guys homepage more or less. THIS IS WHY I AM SO STUCK. Cheers anyway, looks like I have hit a brick wall, and all the folks who have said it is very easy to write such a page dont seem to be able to write this one, even though I am more than happy to pay the going rate!!
