Question

Situation:
I have a calculator that I am building with js. It is a custom function that has two text input fields and when the user clicks a ‘Calculate’ button it performs 4 different equations and outputs them into 4 separate text input boxes.

Question:
Is there a way to output the answers and input data into non-text input fields, like a string of normal text?

Example:

Your marketing Budget [$100,000]
Amount spent locally [10%]
‘Calculate Button’

Now by simply allocating [10%] of you annual budget you are able to increase ROI by [X] amount.

Answer 1

Sure, you can simply put <span>s as placeholders and set their content with .html(): http://api.jquery.com/html/

Edit:
As you have provided the function in a comment now, here is a more suited jqueryish example for your case:

x=Number($('#nationalBudget').val());
y=Number($('#percentageToLocal').val());
a=x*2;
b=[x*(100/100-(1/y))]*2;
c=(x*(1/y))*4;
$('#idOfSpan1').text(a);
$('#idOfSpan2').text(b);
$('#idOfSpan3').text(c);
