Hi - I need help with a simple javascript calculation. I wrote this javascript:
 
var cons = this.getField("Text6.0")
var cons = this.getField("Text5.0")
if (plan.value != 0)
event.value = cons.value - plan.value / plan.value
else
event.value = ""
 
However, the calculation doesn't work right. For Example
 
105 - 100 / 100 should equal to .05%, however, the script comes out to 0.00%. Is there a better way to write a script so that the answer comes to .05%?
 
Thanks
Connie

Where have you defined the variable 'plan'?

Check your calculation for the correct order of arithmetic operators execution.

You used 'cons' twice and as stated, have not defined or initialized variable 'plan'

I would also ensure the subtraction was done first by (cons.value - plan.value) / plan.value
