Hi all,

I'm working on a web page for a fitness trainer and I'm not all that privey to programming in the back end developing web applications.

Anyone know a good and quick way to develop a web application that calculates the BMI?
Also a few other things but if I can manage the BMI application then I can do the rest too.

Thanks.

BMI is usually a simple calculation... that should probably be on the client end in JavaScript. If it has to be on the server side, then you need to provide a lot more information, such as the language you are going to use.

here's a simple page at the CDC for doing it:
http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm

it does it w/ javascript - if you can't figure out how to do it from their code them I'll post some for you.
