    if formdata.has_key('Mass') and formdata.has_key('Height'):
        Mass = float(formdata.getvalue('Mass'))
        Height = float(formdata.getvalue('Height'))
        BMI = formdata.getvalue('Mass/(Height*Height)')
        forminfo = "<p>Mass= %s, Height=%s, BMI=%s</p>" % (Mass, Height, BMI)

i found the problem.

but when i changed the BMI = formdata.getvalue('MAss/(Height*height)')

to BMI = (mass/height*height)

the value is wierd..
if i put 50kg and 150cm
0.00222222222222

which should be 22

or 60kg and 170cm
its 0.00207612456747

20.8

ive tried using float infront still doesnt change.. umm ive multipled it by 100, 1000...

no difference its still wierd.

thanks
