Immortal Soul Don't use form tag because it throw page to another page after submitting data. Change your JavaScript code by this. function cal(){ var a=document.getElementById("demo").value; var b=document.getElementById("demo2").value; var result = a.length * b.length * 4 + " %"; document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = result; }

Or just cancel the submission <form onsubmit="return submit(this)"> function submit(form) { //your code return false; } a bit out of the context but this is also the way you do client side form validation. Also a good thing to add the parent element as an argument and use it to interact with its children. That way you can use the same function for multiple forms.
