On another thread a member wanted a parallel resistor calculator so I knocked one up in html. I then thought to combine a few different calculators onto one page.
The result is attached. Had to rename it .txt so rename it to .html and all should work fine.
A problem with storing html pages on your hard-drive is that if the page tries to access ANY file on your machine it's seem as a security risk and not allowed. There are ways around it (using location.origin) but it gets messy.
To overcome this I used inline SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to produce the two images on the Ohm's Law page.

Anyone that wan't to have a play with SVG can go to this page and copy and paste the following,
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <svg width="100%" viewBox="0 0 500 500">
        <polygon points="250,90 65,405 435,405" 
        style="fill:rgb(220,220,220);stroke:black;stroke-width:4;"/>
        <line x1="145" y1="270" x2="355" y2="270" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:4" />
        <line x1="250" y1="270" x2="250" y2="405" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:4" />
        <text x="225" y="195" style="fill:red;font-size:28px;">(V)</text>
        <text x="200" y="225" style="fill:red;font-size:28px;">Voltage</text>
        <text x="265" y="90" style="fill:red;font-size:28px;">V=IR</text>

        <text x="60" y="310" style="fill:blue;font-size:28px;">R</text>
        <line x1="50" y1="285" x2="90" y2="285" style="stroke:blue;stroke-width:3" /> 
        <text x="305" y="335" style="fill:green;font-size:28px;">(R)</text>

to produce the Ohm's law triangle. Like this,
triangle.png

Interestingly, this produces a file a little over 1k. The same image saved as .png is 22k.

Hope this is helpful to someone.

Mike.
