ashtrans Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi all, we have had some software written for our web site which allows you to put in your gearbox, transfer case, diff and tyre data and it works out the engine revs at a given speed, Ideal for working out what transfer case or ring and pinion to change to with different tyres etc. hope you like it : ratio calculator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashtrans Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Series Gearbox didn't fill the ratios in Opps, working on it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 That's a handy tool, well done! I could only get it to work in IE though, FF and Opera the fields didn't fill in properly, some sort of JS error I guess, though nothing in Firebug?... Didn't even get an option to select a gearbox type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Not working for me, falls at the first hurdle - no gearboxes in the drop down box (Using Firefox here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Worked well in IE..... Shows I really need to go 1.2 ratio in my transfer box...... Great tool, nice and simple for the likes of me ! neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 2600rpm @ 70 on the V8, think the 1.4 ratio LT230 has got it just about right for on-road speeds, for off-road, there is always the brakes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It would appear that it doesn't like firefox, but it works ok in IE. shame.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm sure you've sussed now, Dave, that it doesn't work in Firefox. Drop down boxes are empty. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtail84 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 What a useful tool. Mind you with the 1:003 hanging from the back of the LT77 1830rpm is no surprise at 60mph and that's with 4.11 in the diffs Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 A very useful tool. Could you add data for the Borg Warner transfer box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Didn't seem to work for me in Firefox or IE v7. It's surprising as the page is written in PHP so shouldn't suffer from browser compatibility issues as the bulk of the work is done on the server and it just sends HTML to the browser. Let me know if I can help at all. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si - if you view source, the page is using Java. I think the php aspect is just the content-management side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference - if the PHP is generating incompatible HTML code, it's still incompatible HTML code. if you view source, the page is using Java Or even JavaScript If I get time later I'll have a look through and see why the JavaScript isn't working on FF.

FridgeFreezer Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Or even JavaScript Java, Javascript, Ajax... it's all high-level nonsense of some sort or other as the boss says, proper programming is done with 8 toggle switches and a "STORE" button Shame they didn't just do it in PHP as it would be easy peasy and work on everything.

elbekko Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 There seem to be quite a few errors in the JS bit, mostly by not using proper DOM methods for constructing elements. And, honestly, the population of the gearbox drop-down menu has no business being done by JS, do it in PHP. That the others are done in JS, I can understand, because they're dependent on the first selection. I'll fix it in exchange for a rear ARB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I didn't look at the source - I just assumed it would be written as I would do it with the lists being populated by the PHP / ASP. I'm not convinced that the list needs to be populated by the code at all - it's effectively a static list, so just embed the list content in the HTM.

Retroanaconda Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 A programming conversation on LR4x4, oh my I agree with Si, I would be hard-coding in the contents of the first box via HTML and then using a PHP script to do the working out. Would require another page load, unless you AJAX-ed it, but I prefer PHP to Javascript Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
