Hi Bol,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Below answers to your points:
1/ Very few factors go into the quote:
A = number of guests
B = select type of product
Price = A * (Price of product B) * Volume discount (based on size of A)
The idea is to be able to "calculate" the price: perform additon, multiplications etc.. based on user input.
2/ I don't mind relying on Javascript.
3/ User don't need to sign in in order to calculate the quote.
4/Idealy the quote form will be on the home page to let user get the price right in the beginning.
(but I should be able to wrapp a different page into a section of my home page, or insert custom html code into a section of my home page to bring it to the home page).
Thanks a lot for your help.
samuel.

What factors go into the quote? It seems that would be a hard thing to have a general extension do. I don't know of any that do it.
HTML alone can't do it unless you use Javascript. In most cases it is best to have a server page do it but if the factors are few and you don't mind relying on Javascript then you could use it.
Will it matter if this is done on a page that may seem different from your normal Joomla pages? Would all users be able to use it or should it require Joomla login or work with some other extension? You basically will need to create something customized to do it.
The site you looked at for an example doesn't use Joomla or a CMS so that feature works well with the rest of the page and site. The info is submitted to another page that uses PHP (a server language) to process the form and provide a response.
Let me know how this helps and your responses to the questions or points I made. If you have a question about any part let me know.
