Instant Quote Form

I am trying to make this an instant quote forum based on what I assign each item its price. Basically, say a person selects one item per field and it adds it calculates the total instantly including any setup fees.

Then, I want them to have the ability to print screen or "save quote" for future (this part being advanced and probably requiring much more work than I expect to do). I want them also to be able to email the quote to sales as is via the same form.

I also need to make sure certain fields are properly validated including email.

Does anyone know where I can find such a script? I have 100% NO knowledge/expertise in coding so bear with me please

I do prefer this in flash over java or such.

Thank you in advance.

Some of it could be done in Javascript, and some of it could be done on a server side language, such as Perl (CGI) or PHP. Does the server that you are hosting your site on allow server side programs?

I think you're in over your head. I don't say that to be mean, just to be realistic. Writing a page that performs calculations, validations, and produces a static document (PDF) for saving a "hardcopy", plus email responses, is straightforward for a programmer. It is emphatically NOT easy for a non-programmer.

Hire someone.
