Re: revTalk for Retards

Hey folks

I was wondering if anyone knows how to allow user input to change the content of a lable. for example I want the user to enter a number in a field then click on a button(calulations will be made upon upmouse) and a lable will display the answer. Is this even possible? Please Help.
