hi experts!

I need to create an online calculator from these inputs: width, length and height, and display the answer in m³. The length and width measurs are in meters, the height (this is a tricky part) in centemeters.

Found the base of that code from internet and modified a bit. (Look into JSFiddle/). Basically it does what i need – calculates the sum from three values (first two are in meters, third in centemeters), but i would like it to be more simpler. I don’t want “select options” at the end of a height (thickness) field. this value:

..else if(select_val == "meter"){
    result = result/100;
    $("#answer").text(result).append(" m<sup>3</sup>");;...

must have programmed into code by default!
please help me to simplify that code! or maybe you can provide more elegant solution?

my english is not good, but i still hope you understood my request

What I have tried:

tried to solve it myself, but... couldn't

Your question is "how to simplify 3 lines of code"?

yes you did, but you forget one very important thing: you need to convert thickness value (cm) into meters to get result in m³. final result must be in m³!
