HI:D
I am trying to use the calculate.js for a different type of 'addition' rather than an inventory or sales sheet. Nevertheless, I cannot get it to run. I keep getting an error and it will not calculate.
I have attached my files in a zip.
ANY HELP OR INSIGHT???:confused:
Thank you in advance for any assistance:p

The reason that your script isn't working is because your HTML is a disaster. Whenever you write a page, always make sure it validates (http://validator.w3.org/) with no errors. The problem area is around here:
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<script src="calculate.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<center>
You have opened the head which is already opened and is never closed on the page, then you open a script tag and then another and only close one, this is what it should be:
<script src="calculate.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
I have uploaded the corrected version and it works fine. By the way, if you're going to use someone elses script then you should leave their credits in.
Lavalamp,
Please remember that we all have to learn!!! I don't think your comment of 'your HTML is a disaster' was very nice:mad:
Furthermore, I loaded your returned version and continue to receive an error message and it does not work.
Additionally, I was obviously not done with this javascript and was cutting and pasting like a fool. Therefore, the credits were going to be left in!!!:(
If you feel you must chastise while helping someone, perhaps you are not the best suited for 'support'

Oh, I think "lava"'s pretty tame and his/her suggestions are
typically right on. Its a good thing "lava" got ahold of it
before Charles.
By the way, where is Charles????
Obviously I haven't been doing this too long and may not realize that this is how you treat one another.
Thanks anyway

I'm sorry if I was a little bit harsh. But I think I've fixed the script now, I noticed that you had missed out a few document.'s.
Thanks. I had figured it out by what you had referred to.
Thanks again.:)
