[thelist] Numbers Just Don't Add Up

You should try to avoid using the eval() function unless it absolutely
can't be helped. I'd go with Lee's suggestion of casting to ensure that
your variables get treated as numbers. Or if you want something dead
simple (but slightly hackish), try something like this:

invoiceTotal = 1* invoiceSubtotal + invoiceShipping + invoiceCOD

The "1*" tells javascript that you're working with numbers, not
concatenating strings.
