I found this is possible in javascript with JQuery.

So I made this code:

head.js('//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js', function() {
$.post('http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/demo_test_post.asp', function(data) { alert('Data Loaded: ' + data);}
);
}
);


in the Javascript "mouseover" of the element, but this does not work... Why not?

thanks

You should read the wiki related to the calculation element, and then the form javascript page (http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/form-javascript/) and then also check out the file components/com_fabrik/user_ajax_example.php
