For security reasons, you must do the calculations on the server, in 
your case, as part of the cgi.  It is easy to write the calculations in 
javascript, but it is even easier to 'submit' the form with a price 
that is more in my favor :-).

If you want to do it on the form _and_ in the cgi, let us know.  The 
critical factor is how to make the pricing info available to both 
javascript and the cgi.  If they come up with different answers, your 
customer will be very unhappy!
