BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

[Cyprus]

Okay, I talked to my dad.
Somehow, he understands this. He says that using Access, it should be relatively minimal.
I'm going to try to work with him to see where I can bring this. From what I understand, it is not that hard to program something like this.

Using microsoft access, as in the database software? I don't know much about access, but I think it's a database type, like MySQL. That's going to be hard to host, I think you need special web hosting for that. I think we should just create a JS script that can be embedded in a page, not something that requires it's own database.

Great to hear...I'm still busy studying the chicken genes and am realizing just how possible this could be...

Here is the JS aquarium volume calculator on my site:
https://www.utahfishkeepers.us/volume-calculator/
Here is the code:

<!-- form.frmMain -->
<form name="frmMain" onsubmit="return computeGallons();">
    <span>Aquarium Calculator: Calculate Rectangle Fish Tank Volume in Gallons Based on Tank Size</span>
    <p>
        <label>Fish Tank Length in Inches:<br/>
            <input type="text" name="TankLength"/>
        </label><br/>
     
        <label>Fish Tank Width in Inches:<br/>
            <input type="text" name="TankWidth"/>
        </label><br/>
     
        <label>Fish Tank Height in Inches:<br/>
            <input type="text" name="TankHeight"/>
        </label><br/>
     
        <input type="submit" value="Calculate"/><br/>
     
        <label>Aquarium Size is:</label><br/>
        <span id="USGallons">US Gallons</span>
    </p>
</form>

<!-- script for the form.frmMain -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    function computeGallons(){
        document.getElementById('USGallons').childNodes[0].nodeValue = (
            document.frmMain.TankLength.value *
            document.frmMain.TankWidth.value *
            document.frmMain.TankHeight.value / 231
        ).toFixed(2) + ' US Gallons';
        return false;
    }
</script>

And it's just embedded in a XenForo page.

if it's a PM for those that intend to help, be it coding, drawing, genetics, or coloring, then I'd love to be included.

Looks like we'll have to get a Premium Member to make a PM. Cause our little one is filled to the brim

We'll stick to JS then.

It is very possible! I am going to start a spreadsheet or something soon with breed genetics.
This way when the coding comes around the genetics for each breed will all be in one place and thus easier to find and input.

Exactly, Kippen Jungle has a sheet of genes at the very bottom of this page;

You often wonder why the only genetic expert who has made a calculator would have to make such a confusing website for himself...
