Quadratic Equation Solver - Calculator - Tested in IE6.0, Netscape8.1, Opera9.02, Firefox1.5.0.7 and AOL Explorer1.2

This script will factor and solve for both values of X, any quadratic equation that has real number solutions.

We have tested the code in IE6.0, Firefox1.5.0.7, Opera9.02, Netscape8.1 and AOL Explorer1.2. This script worked well in all platforms with no variations observed.

Depending on your knowledge of HTML and javascripts, this is an easy two (2) part copy and paste code that goes in both the <HEAD> and <BODY> sections of your document. It also makes use of an external .js script you need to save and upload into your directory then add a snipplet of code into the <HEAD> section to call the external.js file.

Note Of Importance: If you are not sure of howto make the external .js file and make use of it within your document, grab the below link and it is fully explained.
[ .js File Howto ]

For your Information: If you are not comfortable or prefer not to use the external.js file, you can use the traditional cut/copy and paste instead of the external .js file. If you need a little refresher on what is required to achieve this, grab the below link and it is fully explained.
[ Traditional Cut/Copy and Paste ]

Depending on which of the above methods you have selected (external.js file or Traditional Copy/Cut & Paste), you will add either the snipplet of code (after you have uploaded the external.js file) into the <HEAD> section or the completed section of code that you added the opening and closing script tags.

Snipplet Of Code
<script type="text/javascript" src="quadEquation.js">
</script> Traditional Copy/Cut and Paste
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<HEAD> Section of code goes here

// End -->
</script>

External .js file

Traditional Copy/Cut & Paste Code with opening & closing tags that you had to add into the <HEAD> section of code that was originally earmarked to be an external .js file.

If you would like to see an example of this effect using the "Traditional Cut/Copy & Paste" method, grab the below link and you are there. Examine our "Source" code (on the page you will be opening) to see how we had to reconfigure it to make it work. We have it very well documented for your convenience.
[ Traditional Cut/Copy & Paste Method ]

The only reconfigurations that can be made other than adding the opening and closing tags and not having the <HEAD> section called from an external location are cosmetic. They are for the border around the effect, text size and color etc. See below where and howto:

</form>
<p id="testing" style="width: 400px; height: 100px; border-width: 2px; border-style: groove*; border-color: orange; font-size: 16px; color: blue; vertical-align: center">The Solution Will Appear Here!</p>
</div>

* This can either be left as is (where the border appears to have a groove in it) or changed to either solid, dotted or dashed causing a completely different effect for the border. See below:

border-style: groove;

border-style: dashed;

border-style: solid;

border-style: dotted;

Just play around with the different areas of reconfiguration until it fits your site.

We hope our tutorial was easy to follow and we covered everything in detail. If you would like to add this effect into your pages, grab the respective below link and you are there.
