generating a chart using variables on a sheet (like auto-calculate for repeat)

I am trying to generate a simple chart and wondering if there is a way to do this. Here is the html snippet. Short version, trying to display the calculated "@{THACO}-(SomeAC)" and all I get is ""@{THACO}-(SomeAC)" not a number. The below does not process (all I see is the value I set). Kinda got spoiled with the auto-calculation jazz for repeat sections and thought maybe this would work but I must be going about it the wrong way. I tried [[]] around one just to see if it worked but didn't there either ;( <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="background:#FFFFCC" colspan="22" align="center">D20 Roll</td> </tr> <tr> <td>ROLL</td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-10)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-10"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-9)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-9"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-8)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-8"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-7)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-7"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-6)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-6"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-5)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-5"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-4)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-4"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-3)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-3"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-2)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-2"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(-1)" name="attr_thaco_combat_-1"/></td> <td><input style="color:maroon;" readonly="true" type="text" value="[[@{THACO}-(0)]]" name="attr_thaco_combat_0"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(1)" name="attr_thaco_combat_1"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(2)" name="attr_thaco_combat_2"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(3)" name="attr_thaco_combat_3"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(4)" name="attr_thaco_combat_4"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(5)" name="attr_thaco_combat_5"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(6)" name="attr_thaco_combat_6"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(7)" name="attr_thaco_combat_7"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(8)" name="attr_thaco_combat_8"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(9)" name="attr_thaco_combat_9"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="@{THACO}-(10)" name="attr_thaco_combat_10"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td>AC</td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-10" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-10"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-9" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-9"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-8" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-8"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-7" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-7"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-6" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-6"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-5" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-5"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-4" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-4"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-3" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-3"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-2" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-2"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="-1" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_-1"/></td> <td><input style="color:maroon;" readonly="true" type="text" value="0" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_0"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="1" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_1"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="2" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_2"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="3" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_3"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="4" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_4"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="5" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_5"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="6" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_6"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="7" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_7"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="8" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_8"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="9" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_9"/></td> <td><input readonly="true" type="text" value="10" name="attr_thaco_combat_ac_10"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td  style="background:#FFCC00;" colspan="22" align="center">AC Hit</td> </tr> </table>

For an autocalc field, you need disabled , not readonly .

I've tried disabled="true" inplace of the readonly="true" first. The snippet below doesn't work either. I only tested readonly=true was because I could actually change the values in the "disabled" blocks on the sheet (which it should be disabled). This is what the output looks like (you can see my cursor in the "disabled" box. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/ReBndOC.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/ReBndOC.png</a> &lt;table border="1" width="100%"&gt;

ok, I'm an idiot. Sitting here I look at that and finally noticed.. "disable" != "disabled". Nothing to see here!

Sure, I make the same stupid mistakes on a regular basis.

I am notoriously bad at copy/pasting a mistake (which is what happened here) so I've no doubt I'll do it again but before I post I'll at least notice it I hope!
