Google Pages to Sites Migration & The GPA Calculator

Recently, I received emails from colleagues complaining about the CSED Alex - GPA Calculator. It suddenly stopped working and when you open it, you instead get the download box to download the gpacalc.html page!!

Well, The reason behind this is that Google decided to close Google Pages and migrate it to Google Sites. Google sites does not permit any custom javascript or css.. This is why nothing suddenly stopped working!! There was two files "gpacalc.js" and "gpacalc.css" linked to the "gpacalc.html" to provide functionality and style.

Anyway, the simplest solution was to download the 3 files and open them locally from your computer. So, to save time and effort, I have merged the javascript code and the css styles into the gpacalc.html; Now you only have to download a single file "gpacalc.html" and run it locally from your computer.

Enjoy!
