So, <a href="
http://www.spudfiles.com/EVBEC/JSE.html">EVBEC V1.5 Live</a> is finished and hosted.
(apologies to Latke and all for stealing the name)
Several advantages over the excel spreadsheet:
1) You don't have to download it!
2) Handy tool tips!
3) Much more strait-forwards data entry.
4) Much simpler data read off.
5) Built-in fudge factor options (MAPP gas and fanless operation)
The calculations use, essentially, the .75" latke data (actually a curve fit of it), but are otherwise identical to those of version 1.5 of the excel spreadsheet.

Are you running internet explorer?
During testing I noticed that IE liked to prevent scripts from running... I think it gives you a bar across the top of the screen or something.
If you can't find the issue... tell me if you can run burntlatke's programs.

Are you going to make a metric versoin of this or did I miss a simple link or feature?

Damn that's nice. Excellent job Boiling.
Kind of odd that all the inputs are in English units but some of the outputs are metric.
How about <a href="
http://home.earthlink.net/~jimsluka/EVB ... html">this version</a>.
Boilingleadbath: I'll delete the version on my server in a day or so so people don't confuse it with the official version.
Again, excellent job, both in the calculation and the presentation.

Does anyone have a problem with Jimmy's system?
(otherwise, I guess I'll implement it so that we have a choice between all imperial and all metric.)
Is there a way to make text that can be changed outside of textboxes?
Because a whole bunch of textboxes where the "in" or "ft-lbs" labels are now would be UGLY.
...and grams (as an input) are not imperial units of measure.

You mean like changing the contents of a <span> or paragraph? AFAIK you can change the content of any element with an ID using JavaScript.

Damn you are quick boiling, very nice.
(OK, OK grams are not metric but 6 of the 7 inpurs were english with just one metric.)
Just to be an annoying SOB...
1. Can the page open with one of the two measuring systems already selected?
2. Is there a problem with the default "Atmospheric Pressure" value? In English units it comes up as 213.2... PSIA, in metric as 14.7 Bar.
