I want have a varible named "money" and the intial value is 500. Then I want the have whatever is typed in the "amount" textbox to be multiplyed by 12 . Then subtract whatever money * 12 is from the 500. Then money is set to its new number and if more is subracted later on it wont subtract from 500 instead it will subtract from the new "money". It tried to do part of it but it always says that money is zero even though it shouldn't be.

<html><head><title>Current Stocks</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
money = new Number
money = 500 - document.getElementById('amount').value
function addUp() {
alert("You Just Spent $"+document.getElementById('amount').value *12+". You Have $" +money +" Left Over");
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
money = 500;
function addUp() {
money -= parseInt(document.getElementById('amount').value)*12;
alert("You Just Spent $"+document.getElementById('amount').value *12+". You Have $" +money +" Left Over");

Thank You it works well. You made a mistake though:
you: href="java script:addup()"
correct: href="javascript:addup()"

If you go up and look at your post, you will see the same thing. ;) The forums put the space in there, not me. :) And the true "right" way of doing it would be this:

<a href="#" onclick="addUp();">Buy</a>

:cool:

Not to be picky, but... :D

The actual correct way would be this:

<a href="#" onclick="addUp(); return false;">Buy</a>
or, perhaps even better, if the link will do nothing for those without javascript enabled:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="#" onclick="addUp(); return false;">Buy</a>');
</script>
