A Simple Estimated Payment Script.
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have looked and looked all over the Net for something where I could display a payment without some clunky form that the visitor would have to fill out. Without any luck I bought a javascript book and set out to create my own.
If anyone is interested I finally created a javascript that will display an "Estimated Monthy Payment".
This simple calculator will allow you to display
the "estimated monthly payment" without the use of
a form. It is in no way to be used for an exact amount.
This script takes the price field and strips any dollar
signs and non-digits, such as commas. It then calculates
the payment based on the length and interest of the loan.
It returns the price rounded to the nearest dollar.
You can hard code the interest and length of loan fields or create $fields$ for these as well. There is no need for the visitor to hit any submit button or anything like that. Here is how we are using it.
Price: $200,000
Estimated Monthly Payment: $1199*
*Based on 6% interest for 30 years.
Click here to change assumptions. (When they click on the link, we pop-up a full function mortgage calculator)
Let me know if your willing to test this, as I have yet to take it live. Include an email address in your post. I'll send it to anyone who ask. All I ask is a post on how it is working for you.
Regards,
~~~Deven

Hi Deven,
Thanks for sending in that script for our Support staff to try out. It works brilliantly! Would it be OK with you if we attach it to this thread so that other users can benefit from it?
Thanks again Deven, and I hope to hear from you soon

Absolutely. I actually forgot about this - our site is up and running with it. This is a nice little feature to put your car dealership or realty site "over-the-top" ! Here is a link to our site. Just look in the upper right corner of one of our listings to view our "Estimated Payment". Here's the link:
http://www.westteaysrealty.com
PS - I'll attach the script for everyone. Enjoy and let me know if it's working for you. Copy the source code from the attached page and insert it in your _publish_listing.html where you want your results to display.

Hi dedbob,
Saw your site. Awesome. I'll look for a fix for this. Your right about real estate using whole numbers. Tends to be the norm.

Try replacing this first line:
var M = "$lfield5_je$".replace(/\D/g,'') //$lfield5 or whatever your price field is.
with these 4 lines:
var H ="$lfield5_je$"
var J =H.replace(/\$/g,'')
var K =J.replace(/\,/g,'')
var M =Math.round (K)
I'm sure there is an easier way, but I think this should work. Keep in mind, I'm a javascript novice. Let me know. ~~~Deven

Glad it worked. Now a favor for me. Can you post me how you resize your windows for your images, along with the "click to close" event?
Thanks, Deven

Knick,
It's already posted. Look up this thread about 4 postings and you'll see an attachment named CALCULATOR.htm. Just save this to your drive, open it up in your favorite HTML editor and copy the code inbetween the <script tags> . Paste this where you want your result to display.
Any questions, Let me know..........Deven

Re: [Deven] ... Payment Script. -> Use Excel and convert into JavaScript

Hi, as one of the authors of ExcelEverywhere, I must says that the easiest is to write a formula =-PMT(B2/12,30*12,B1) in Excel. Then run ExcelEverywhere and about 20 seconds later you have your calculator:
http://www.exceleverywhere.com/nonez/monthly_payment.htm
The original spreadsheet is here, once it is created, the rest is automatic:
http://www.exceleverywhere.com/nonez/monthly_payment.xls
You can either format the calculator in Excel, or you can open up the generated code into a web editor and insert the header and body into your web page.
ExcelEverywhere is almost as cheap as a JavaScript-book, it costs $99

Mattias

OK. Once again I've attached the script. Unzip it, open it in your HTML editor, copy the code (including the script tags) - then paste this where you want your "estimated monthly payment" to appear.
Have fun.....Deven

Hi,
There are probably 6 dozen mortage calculator scripts out there... I have a nice one at
http://www.bragdonrealestate.com/rm/listings/
Pick any listing and you'll see the link for the mortage calculator.
You ref. it in the page with this code
<A HREF="javascript:popUp('http://www.bragdonrealestate.com/mini_mort.html')">Mortgage Calculator</A>
You need to place this between the <head> </head> tags
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=425,height=260');");
}
// End -->
</script>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
//-->
</script>
Adjust as needed. The code for the page for the actual calculator is here as an attachment named mini_mort.txt.
This script just seems to have a few more options.
Enjoy

Your right. There are many mortgage calculators out there, it's just that I wanted one that didn't require a form to fill in.

Hi Deven,
Your script works great! knowing nothing about programming, I would like to ask one question: Can I somehow use it with 10% down instead of 0 down, thats whats required in our area.
Thanks,
James

Replace this first line:
var M = "$lfield5_je$".replace(/\D/g,'') //$lfield5 or whatever your price field is.
with these 3 lines:
var P = "$lfield5_je$".replace(/\D/g,'') //$lfield5 or whatever your price field is.
var Q = P * .10 //percent down
var M = P - Q
Should work.............Deven

Deven,
Sorry I know I'm bringing this post back from the dead!
1st I want to thank you for providing this script for us to use. I have it installed and working perfect, the only thing I would like to do is as you mentioned in your 1st post...have a link for the user to change the assumptions.
I am with you 100%, I do not want the user to have to type in the price. Please let me know if you can help. Also, I noticed in your script you say "or create a field"...could you paste a little code to better explain?
Again thank you for this great script!
Matt
