[thelist] Numbers Just Don't Add Up

[Bob Blackman]

Thank you both!

I was able to fix my problem with:

invoiceTotal = eval(invoiceSubtotal) + eval(invoiceShipping) +
eval(invoiceCOD)

Thaks again, Bob

It doesn't matter how you initialise a variable in JS, a variable will
be the type of it's last assignment.  Referencing formField.value brings
strings into the mix.

var number = new Number(string);

Is the best way to cast.
