<br />Hi list,<br /><br />First forgive me for posting code up in the email, there's no online<br />page that I can show the script.<br />I'm having a terrible, like 2 hours wasted on this terrible error,<br />trying to figure this out:<br />Here's the code:<br /><br /><pre><br />array_prices = new Array();<br />array_prices[1] = '115'; //these values are coming from a db<br />array_prices[2] = '95';<br /><br />function getCheckedValue(radioObj) {<br /> var radioLength = radioObj.length;<br /> for(var i = 0; i < radioLength; i++) {<br /> if(radioObj[i].checked) {<br /> return radioObj[i].value;<br /> }<br /> }<br />}<br /><br />function updateTotal(){<br /> total = 0;<br /> totalField = document.getElementById('valorOnlyNumber');<br /> for (i=1; i < array_prices.length; i++){<br /> total = total+(array_prices[i])*(2);// this value works here, but I<br />hardcoded it<br /> }<br /> rdVal = getCheckedValue(document.frm_calcShipping.valFrete);<br /> if (rdVal != 0){<br /> total = total+rdVal;<br /> }<br /> totalField.innerHTML = total;<br />}<br /></pre><br /><br />and these are my radios:<br /><br /><div id="normal-mgprrjscCapital"><input type="radio" value="6.70" /><br />name="valFrete" />R$ 6,70</div><br /><div id="normal-mgprrjscInterior"><input type="radio" value="7.20" /><br />name="valFrete" />R$ 7,20</div><br /><div id="sedex-mgprrjscCapital"><input type="radio" value="12.60" /><br />name="valFrete" />R$ 12,60</div><br /><div id="sedex-mgprrjscInterior"><input type="radio" value="18.60" /><br />name="valFrete" />R$ 18,60</div><br /><br /><div id="valor">R$<span id="valorOnlyNumber"> 210.00</span></div><br /><br />+++++++++++++++++++++<br />The problem is that rdVal is always a string, I've tried<br /><br />rdVal = parseFloat('getCheckedValue(document.frm_calcShipping.valFrete)')<br /><br />still a string<br /><br />I can't figure out what to do please someone advice<br /><br />TIA<br />Marcelo
