 | View Full Version : Javascript Form Hybrid|Kron!c 03-10-2005, 09:19 AM hey everyone, im wondering if anyone knows how i can set up a javascript form so that when people select an option it shows the total price of what they have on the screen. i heard this was javascript, might not be but if u know what i mean let me know :D the_pm 03-10-2005, 10:07 AM This is fairly easily done using JavaScript, though it takes a little work to create the script. It's generally more reliable to do these calculation in a server-side scripting language, such as PHP or ASP, but JavaScript is a viable option if it's not a mission-critical type of thing. Can you give more specifics? Maybe I can throw together a little sample script for you. Hybrid|Kron!c 03-10-2005, 01:28 PM this is an example of what i mean.. HERE (http://www.e-frag.co.uk/?page=services) when u press on a certain game type it give u the price.. something like that or simpler but same sort of thing would be great the_pm 03-10-2005, 01:43 PM Here's an idea of how this function works, in its simplest form: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function calc() { document.calculate.total.value = parseFloat(document.calculate.server.value) + parseFloat(document.calculate.players.value) } </script> </head> <body> <form name="calculate" action="" method="post"> <p><select name="server" onchange="calc()"> <option value="0">Choose a server <option value="5">Tiny Server <option value="10">Medium Server <option value="15">Gigantic Server </select></p> <p><select name="players" onchange="calc()"> <option value="0">Number of players <option value="5">5 <option value="10">10 <option value="15">15 </select></p> <p>$<input type="text" name="total" value="0" size="2"></p> </form> </body> </html> Copy/paste that into a blank document and save it as .html. You'll see exactly how it works - it's very easy to expand. Don't mind the older markup. I didn't feel like moving the JS statement into an external document to comply with XHTML standards, but you can do that easily enough on your own, I'm sure. HTH! :) Hybrid|Kron!c 03-10-2005, 02:30 PM thank you so much.. i can reall work of that.. thx alot :D |
