Hi is there a way of using a square root calculation in a form. I see there is a shortcode you can use for a view but how can I display the calculation in the form. eg

QTc calculator
(Number field 1) 
(Number field 2) 
Text - default text = (Number field 2)*0.04 
Text field 2 - default text = (Number field 1)*0.04/[square_root number=[ID ofText field 1]] 
0r
Text field 2 - default text = (Number field 1)*0.04/√((Number field 1)*0.04)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tudor

Field calculations can use the jQuery.Math() library that includes a square root function: See this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/sqrt

Thanks - I had tried this but I am not sure if I am using it correctly. 
the formula I put into the text field for the calculation is this:

(Number field 1)*0.04/Math.SQRT((Number field 2)*0.04)

Okay have it now the SQRT needs to be in lowercase Math.sqrt - works a treat. Thanks for the help Tudor
