How do I multiply a numerical form field by a specific number that is not in a form field?  I have absolutely no experience with Javascript.  Please HELP!

Correct answer try67

Under the Simple Field Notation option in the Calculate tab of Fees enter this:

Volume * 0.03

I was wondering if I could get a little help, cause I can't seem to figure this out.  I have a field where I will enter volume and need it to calculate the fee.  See attached screen shot.

    Let's say the first field is called Text1 and you want to multiply its value by 8 and show the result in Text2.

    You can do it using this code as the custom calculation script of Text2:

    event.value = Number(this.getField("Text1").valueAsString) * 8;
