Forms and adding

[Pirate]

I making a form where you list dollar amounts. At the end of the form I'd like to have a box that adds the values from these input areas and totals it in the totals box.

Has anyone seen any scripts that can do this or point me in the right direction?

It depends, have you got a fixed number of fields or is it variable?

s'cool. I figured it out with some java.

Give us the linky of where you found it.

It'd be interesting to see how it works.

No worries... coffee helps me think too ;)

i would assume it is just simple "onclick/onchange" etc event on each input boxes, that once a number is entered, it loops through all the input fields, adding them up in a variable, and then displays the vairable in a disabled input box for the toals, automatically using something like:

document.totalbox.value=allboxtotals;

where "allboxtotals" would be the addition of all the input boxes that allow the dollar values to be entered.

(i just thought i would answer it cause i am bored!)

its basically like btwong said.

I stole some code and reworked it.function csum()
{
var tsum=0;
for ( normalanswer1 = 1; normalanswer1 < 5; normalanswer1++ )
{
k = "normalanswer" + normalanswer1;
tsum += document.getElementById(k).value/1;
}
tsum = Math.floor((tsum + .005)*100)/100;
document.getElementById("s1").value = "$" + tsum;
}
