document.write cannot change a document that has already been loaded in the browser. You could instead use DOM scripting to update the content of a page.

In the example above, after the insert the following line:

Now you can append content to this by using DOM manipulation, so instead of
tmpStr += this.city + " " + this.state +
" " + this.zip + "\n" + "
";
do this instead:

var d = document
var el = d.getElementById("output");
el.appendChild(
d.createTextNode(
this.city + " " +
this.state + " " +
this.zip + "\n")
);
el.appendChild(
d.createElement("br")
);

What dropdown? There is none on the form. There are no text boxes for width and length either. And why eval()? Tell the user to enter numbers if the entry isn't a number.
