Need a little help please, this is my problem.

Only if the participant purchases an 3 items for 11.50, then they have the option to purchase more at 3.00 each,

the event . value of (b* 3.00) is working but event.value a is sticking at 11.50 on which ever radio button I press, the additional pack box is hidden until check box 3 = 11.50 is checked

var a = this.getField("partcipant_1_check_box").value;
if(a == 1)
  event.value = 5.25; // 
else if (a == 2)
    event.value = 9.00; // 
else if (a == 3)
    event.value = 11.50; // 
 
var b = this.getField("participant_1_quantity_additional_packs").value;
if (a = 11.50 ) 
event.value = a + (b * 3.00)//

Any help would be great
Thanks in advance

Here you are assigning 11.50 to a. You need:if (a == 11.50 )

Thanks Jim

I have tried that before, but that seems to cancel out the (b*3.00) calculation??

True I do get the radio button values back

thanks again

Look carefully at your code, you maybe looking at the wrong value. It appears you want to test 'a' for a value of '3' items. Then the price is '11.50' plus 3 times the extra packets purchased. You could also see if the event.value is equal to '11.50'.

Thanks I'm not sure how to test "a" for the 3 values

I tried this thinking if the value of a was greater than 11.50 ??

var a = this.getField("partcipant_1_check_box").value;if(a == 1)event.value = 5.25; // else if (a == 2)event.value = 9.00; // else if (a == 3)event.value = 11.50; //  var b = this.getField("participant_1_quantity_additional_packs").value; if (a >= 11.50 )event.value = a + (b * 3.00)//

Lets look at your code with meaningful comments and variable names added.

// get the number of participant packsvar ParPacks = this.getField("partcipant_1_check_box").value;// assign price based on number of participant packs selectedif(ParPacks == 1) {// one item selectedevent.value = 5.25;  // total 5.25} else if (ParPacks == 2)  {// 2 items selectedevent.value = 9;  // total 9.00} else  if (ParPacks >= 3 )  {// 3 or more items selected// get number of additional items  var AddPacks= this.getField("participant_1_quantity_additional_packs").value;// compute value   event.value = 11.5 + (AddPacks * 3.00); // 11.50 + ( number of additional packs * 3.00)}

The value of the number of participants packs is not chaged and will not equal $11.50. $11.50 is the value of the field.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this code?

var a = this.getField("201").value;
var b = this.getField("200").value;
var c = this.getField("213").value;
// compute the value
event.value = '';
if( c != 0) {
// perform only is b / c is not zero
event.value = b / c
}

To gkaiseril

Thank you for your calculation

I'm a bit confused on why and when you use these signs

(== )

and

{ }

other than that I do understand the logic behind the calculation (not that I would be able to write it yet)

// get the number of participant packsvar ParPacks = this.getField("partcipant_1_check_box").value;// assign price based on number of participant packs selectedif(ParPacks == 1) {// one item selectedevent.value = 5.25;  // total 5.25} else if (ParPacks == 2)  {// 2 items selectedevent.value = 9;  // total 9.00} else  if (ParPacks >= 3 )  {// 3 or more items selected// get number of additional items  var AddPacks= this.getField("participant_1_quantity_additional_packs").value;// compute value   event.value = 11.5 + (AddPacks * 3.00); // 11.50 + ( number of additional packs * 3.00)}

Thank you again

Testing for equality in Javascript uses ==. If you use = you are assigning a value to a variable. As far as the braces, they are used to group lines of code into blocks (it is a scope thing). If you have an if statement with more than one line to be executed when the condition is satisfied, you need to use braces around all the lines that you want to be executed.

Hello

I have had to change the radio boxes to check boxes which I was using before, so I could have an easier count total.

But now I have the problem of getting the values of three separate check boxes into this calculation as you may see
I'm sure this is totally wrong as it's not working I get a return of 5.25 off "participant_1_check_box_1" but nothing off "participant_1_check_box_2","participant_1_check_box_3" or "participant_1_quantity_additional_packs"

Again any insight into this would be appreciated

Thanks

// get the number of participant packsvar ParPacks = this.getField("participant_1_check_box_1","participant_1_check_box_2","participant_1_check_box_3").value;// assign price based on number of participant packs selectedif(ParPacks == 1) {// one item selectedevent.value = 5.25;  // total 5.25} else if (ParPacks == 2)  {// 2 items selectedevent.value = 9;  // total 9.00} else  if (ParPacks >= 2 )  {// 3 or more items selected// get number of additional items  var AddPacks= this.getField("participant_1_quantity_additional_packs").value;// compute value   event.value = 11.5 + (AddPacks * 3.00); // 11.50 + ( number of additional packs * 3.00)}

Think I've got it !!!!

// get the number of participant packsvar a = this.getField("participant_1_check_box_1").value;var b = this.getField("participant_1_check_box_2").value;var c = this.getField("participant_1_check_box_3").value;// assign price based on number of participant packs selectedif(a == 1) {// one item selectedevent.value = 5.25;  // total 5.25} else if (b == 2)  {// 2 items selectedevent.value = 9;  // total 9.00} else  if (c >= 2 )  {// 3 or more items selected// get number of additional items  var AddPacks= this.getField("participant_1_quantity_additional_packs").value;// compute value   event.value = 11.5 + (AddPacks * 3.00); // 11.50 + ( number of additional packs * 3.00)}
