I am trying to create a program where you enter in height and weight and it prints put bmi. It is not that it is printing nothing just that the # is wrong.

BMI calculation is (pounds/height in inches * height in inches)*703

I understand that your code is not printing the output , please check this updated snippet :

Code:: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>BMI calculator</title> <script type="text/javascript"> /* These are the 2 scripts I have made the first one does a whole # between the 2 parameters.
