Use a function to calculate the result in javascript.
Id of the form elements are more important than its name. So, always set an id to all the form elements. Using the id, you can get the value or property of the text box or div or whatever.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
  fun calc()
  {
  var w=getElementById('weight');
  var a=getElementById('age');
  var res=getElementById('result');
  var r= w * a;
  document.form.output.value=r;
  }
  </script>
  </head>
<body>
<form>
Weight: <input type="text" id="weight"><br>
Age: <input type="text" id="age"><br>
Result:<input type="text" name="output" id="result"><br>
<input type="button" onclick=calc()>
</form>
</body>
</html>
