Edd Spoke Calculator--what do I not understand
I've used the Edd spoke calculator in the past, and remember it as being very convenient, since it has a big database of rims and hubs. But I went there just now and came away stymied and frustrated.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I searched the hub database, and came up with Shimano FH-M570 rear hub I'll be building with. Great, it pops up in the "hub" window. I move to the next cell, and search for the Sun CR-18 rim. Up comes a pull-down menu of a variety of CR-18s. I find the 700c version and highlight that. The default spoke settings are already highlighted, apparently because they represent the default choices--36 spokes, cross 3.
According to a little note over on the right-hand side of the screen, the spoke lengths will be displayed once the hub and rim have been selected. But I have selected them, and nothing happens. Should there be a "run" or "calculate" button somewhere? I sure don't see one.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or not doing?

With both the hub and rim highlighted in blue and the number of spokes and crosses highlighted in blue, I get a table of values.
It shows for me. Are you running an adblocker?
Hub Shimano FH-M570, rear
Rim Sun CR-18
Spokes 36
Crosses 3
Spoke length left 296.5 mm
Spoke length right 295 mm
Hub Shimano FH-M570, rear
Rim Sun CR-18
Spokes 32
Crosses 3
Spoke length left 299.2 mm
Spoke length right 297.8 mm

I've corresponded with the guy who wrote this. If there's a problem or a missing hub or rim, he's pretty quick to respond.

^Works fine for me and I got the same results. This is the site I always use and it's working the same as it always has for me. Maybe a browser/plug-in issue?

Maybe it doesn't like to run in Internet Explorer, which is what I was using--maybe I'll try it in Firefox.

Okay, it's official, I'm stupid.
Here's the issue, it seems: Once I had searched the hub in the database and it popped up in the hub box, I had not clicked on the box to activate it.
As my high-school math teacher, Mr. Laucks, used to say when someone finally caught on to something (this was in the Boston area), "Ah! Dawn breaks over Marblehead!"

And it has the advantage of you adding hubs and rims.
