Simple problem, but can't figure it out
Working on a script that will add together dollar values in user selected drop downs and display on the page. I get the script to work if the total is to be displayed in a text box, but I want to do a document.write() to put it as a piece of text. I know the answer is simple, but I just don't have the experience to figure it out. I think it may have something to do with local/global scope of the variable. Searched everywhere for the solution.
Below is the code, thanks to anyone who can help!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<script language="JavaScript">
function addall()
{
writetotal = document.summing.writetotal.value = parseFloat(document.summing.a.value)
+ parseFloat(document.summing.b.value)
+ parseFloat(document.summing.c.value)
+ parseFloat(document.summing.d.value)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="summing">
<td width="502" valign="top">
<select name="a" onChange="addall()">
<option value="0.00">0</option>
<option value="2.95">1</option>
<option value="3.95">2</option>

</select><br><br>
<input type="text" name="writetotal" size="5" maxlength="5">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value=""><br><br>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from older browser
document.write("Total: " + writetotal.toFixed(2)) //-->
</script>
</form>
