[development] help with input user field development / module

[floretan at gmail.com]

If you want to be able to change the currency dynamically, you can
create a little jquery script that will modify the content of your
page. Put the original value in hidden fields with a class
"original-value" and append the converted value to the hidden field:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('input.original-value').each(function() {
    $(this).after(($(this).val() * exchange_rate) + 'euros');
  });
});

This is just a basic idea, but a script that loads the currency and
the associated exchange rate from a form, as well as creating correct
html code should not be much longer.

You would still need some server-side conversion for users who don't
have javascript enabled, but depending on your needs this might not be
an issue.
