Tim,

Here's a re-post. I hope this is useful.

---------------------------------
Something like:

In the onKeyUp of any of the first five boxes, call a function like:

function addTotals(){
  var dollarTotal = document.forms['moneyForm'].dol1.value + 
document.forms['moneyForm'].dol2.value + 
document.forms['moneyForm'].dol3.value + 
document.forms['moneyForm'].dol4.value + 
document.forms['moneyForm'].dol5.value;

  document.forms['moneyForm'].twoPercent = dollarTotal * .02;
  document.forms['moneyForm'].grandTotal = dollarTotal;

}



All this is untested, and I'm not bothering to round to two decimal 
places here, although that will probably be your next step after getting 
this stuff working.

Hope this helps.

Shawn
