[Javascript] doing totals of form values client side-examples - Solved

[Peter Brunone]

    I'm a bit curious as to what you're getting as .value if these are
indeed pulldown menus.  You said this is working?

Hi Peter,

thanks again for your help. Here is what I was trying to do. It's not
elegant and not scaleable but it does what I need it to do. If you think it
can be improved, let me know. But don't worry, I've got my calculations.

function maketotal() {
var itemA=document.bulb.A.value * 25;
var itemB=document.bulb.B.value * 8;
var itemC=document.bulb.C.value * 8;
var itemD=document.bulb.D.value * 10;
var itemE=document.bulb.E.value * 10;
var itemF=document.bulb.F.value * 10;
var itemG=document.bulb.G.value * 10;
var itemH=document.bulb.H.value * 8;
var itemI=document.bulb.I.value * 8;
var itemJ=document.bulb.J.value * 8;
var itemK=document.bulb.K.value * 8;
var itemL=document.bulb.L.value * 8;
var itemM=document.bulb.M.value * 8;
var itemN=document.bulb.N.value * 10;
var itemO=document.bulb.O.value * 8;
var itemP=document.bulb.P.value * 12;
var itemQ=document.bulb.Q.value * 15;

var totalcost= (itemA + itemB + itemC + itemD + itemE + itemF + itemG +
itemH + itemI + itemJ + itemK + itemL + itemM + itemN + itemO + itemP +
itemQ)

document.bulb.TOTAL.value=totalcost;
}

Cheers!
