Question

I need to print the values to the left of the table like shown here:

I know how to input the variables and text, just not sure where to insert code and how to position correctly. 

 <html>
<head>
<title></title>

<script type="text/javascript">

 function fixVal(value,numberOfCharacters,numberOfDecimals,padCharacter) { 
    var i, stringObject, stringLength, numberToPad;            

    value = value * Math.pow(10,numberOfDecimals);                 
    value = Math.round(value);                                   
    stringObject = new String(value);                            
    stringLength = stringObject.length;                          
    while(stringLength < numberOfDecimals + 1) {                     
        stringObject = "0"+stringObject;                    
        stringLength = stringLength+1;                      
    }

    if(numberOfDecimals > 0) {                     
        stringObject = stringObject.substring(0,stringLength-numberOfDecimals)+"."+
        stringObject.substring(stringLength-numberOfDecimals,stringLength);
    }

    if (stringObject.length < numberOfCharacters && numberOfCharacters>0) {
        numberToPad=numberOfCharacters-stringObject.length;      
        for (i=0; i<numberToPad; i=i+1) {
            stringObject=padCharacter+stringObject;
        }
    }

    return stringObject;                                      
}

function buildTable() {

    var amount = parseFloat(document.getElementById("loanAmt").value );
    var monthly = parseInt(document.getElementById("monthlyPay").value );
    var rate = parseFloat(document.getElementById("intRte").value );

    rate = rate / 100 / 12;

    var msg = "<table id='tablefont' border='3' width='65%'>";
    msg += "<tr>";
    msg += "<td>Month</td>";
    msg += "<td>Principal Paid</td>";
    msg += "<td>Interest Paid</td>";
    msg += "<td>Loan Balance</td>";
    msg += "</tr>";

    newPrincipal=amount;
    var m = 1;   //months

    while ( amount > 0 ) {
        var interest = amount * rate;
        var principal = monthly - interest;

        if (principal > amount) {
            principal = amount;
            amount = 0.0;
        } else {
            amount -= principal;
        }

        msg += "<tr><td align='left' bgcolor='pink'>"+m+"</td> \
                <td align='left' bgcolor='pink'>$"+fixVal(principal,0,2,' ')+"</td> \

                <td align='left' bgcolor='pink'>$"+fixVal(amount,0,2,' ')+"</td></tr>";

        m++;
    }


    msg += "</table>";

    document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = msg;

Solution

You can do something like this.
EDIT: I think it's better to prepare the overview at the same time as the results (so rename buildTable to buildResults:

function buildResults() {

(same as current build table) PLUS:

    var msg2 = "";
    msg2 += "Loan Amount: " + document.getElementById("loanAmt").value + "<br>";
    msg2 += "Annual Interest: " + document.getElementById("intRte").value + "<br>";
    msg2 += "Monthly Payment: " + document.getElementById("monthlyPay").value + "<br>";

    document.getElementById("overview").innerHTML = msg2;

Change the button definition:

<input type="button" value="Process Data" id="button" onClick="buildResults();">

Add a div and float it to the left of the div with the centered table:

<div id="overview" style="margin-top:20px;margin-right:20px;float:left;align:left;"></div>

Of course, there is some more formatting and cleanup to do to have it exactly match what you are looking for.
