When people make tools like this...to help in their "own" gaming...they can't lose. Sharing it with others is just a selfless gift on top of that. It is really cool when we make these tools/generators because they help with putting a game together so much quicker than the hours we spent in the 80's. The main excuse of why people stop gaming is "no time". These tools diminish that problem. Also, any printed generator (like Dan is suggesting) also lets us keep the laptops away from the gaming tables. Anyway...now that I stepped off my soap box...
How about an option to combine the gems/jewelry values into a total lump sum? I do this on my generators only because it is quicker to read off to the players that you find a pile of gems worth 5,000gp...instead of listing them one by one. Some like the prior...that is why I would only suggest the "option".
Also...maybe for fun (and if you have the Dungeon Master's Guide for reference)...have each gem/jewelry list a type, like Ruby 10gp, Sapphire 50gp, Diamond 100gp. Some players like to know exactly what they found, but this suggestion is merely cosmetic.
Lastly, what do you use to have the list compile at the bottom without refreshing the page? AJAX?
