Thank you both for your help!
Chris - I can "embed the js in a HTML", but I don't yet exactly know what a "form element" is. I'm presuming you're not referring to renaming the code page I created, but putting the HTML in its own Field named "_FID_##" (without the quotes, and with the field number of the place where I want the result to appear as ##). But, that can't be. If I paste my HTML file with the js imbeded in it to a Formula - Rich Text field, I get stopped at every line. so I guess I don't know where the "form element"s are.
Brett - I guess you are saying I need to create my own button to do an API_AddRecord rather than use the native "+New Quote" green button that is on my page, which is fine if I can figure out a) how to do it, and b) how to get rid of the "+New Quote" green button so our people don't get confused. I don't know anything about "AJAX", but I'll look into it, and I'll read up on where an API_AddRecord gets its data. I think I know how to get the field ids (Advanced Options button in 'Settings, Fields').
So, I'll muddle through this today and hope I come up with the right moves! I appreciate your help.

I'm missing something basic. To me, "Form Elements" are either Fields, or 'Text, Section Heading or Tab'. If I put this code into a Field, when choosing Formula - Rich Text, I get bounced. What other type of Form Element would this code go into?
