Hello,
My web page is static, except for a small user interaction part. It's just like a temperature conversion programe. ie when the user enters a temp in Fahrenheit, display the result in Celsius.
If I use JavaScript to make the conversion how can I display the result in the same page. (Not in a textbox but as a statement, ie as a text, like, 'Equivalent temperature in Celsius is: 26 Degree Celsius'.)
If I use JSP, should the Web Server support server side programming?
I really appreciate your help!
Thanks

Hi
I recomend you to use JavaScript for some dynamic content in your page. The JSP/servlets are useful when you have to do some complicated applications like Database acces or something like that. Besides, with JavaScript you don't need any server side configuration. Here is one link you can visit to search for JS examples. Maybe in these site you can found what you are looking for.
