i’m using javascript, below is the form. If you go to the(A * B / C * D); part of the form. For some reason it does not work…do not know if I have something wrong. But if I were to enter 30 as A, 100,000 as B, 6 as C, and .2 as D. The answer should be 10,000. Can you help me figure out what is wrong?

html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <!-- 2005/11/08 Science Buddies: JavaScript calculator, adds two numbers -->

Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved

Yes, I'm a huge copy and paster.
Do you know how to add a if statement to this???? I'm just learning and would love some advice.
Need a if statement as follows for the “Recommended form of package to be used when ordering DEF” ad button. E would be the answer from what you just helped with...but do not know how to add E either. Wish there was some kind of tutorial...I love to learn and when I get it myself it is even better. =IF(E<300,Jugs,IF(AND(E>=300,E<800),Drums,IF(AND(E>=800,E<6601),IBC,Mini Bulk)))
