I created an earlier system just like that, delivering the whole page
again, and this is probably what I will do with this calculator as
well.

Even if I were to use AJAX (which I've never used), I think I'd still
have the problem of embedding this calculator into the static html
page since iframes/frames are not an option due to the cludgy
appearance.

Since it does not appear to be possible in html, does anyone know if
javascript can be included in my static html file which then calls the
url in my original post, causing the calculator to 'embed' itself at
that particular point? After embedding the html, maybe AJAX can be
used to display the table of calculations resulting when the user
posts?
