Nov 11th, 2009
I need help understand where to place (and how to create)
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. function calcPrice() {
  2.   product = document.form1.prod;
  3.   pindex = product.selectedIndex;
  4.   product_price = product.options[pindex].value;
  5.   quantity = document.form1.qty;
  6.   qindex = quantity.selectedIndex;
  7.   quantity_ordered = quantity.options[qindex].value;
  8.   document.form1.price.value = product_price*quantity_ordered;
  9. }
. I also need to know where to add the
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. onchange = "calcPrice()"
event handler. I will post my coding below, please help.

you need to call it onFocus of the each input element for the cost.
For example, user inserts quantity for first product then tabs to the next element or puts cursor inside the next element i.e. cost's box, the function should get executed with the element id passed to it and will assign the calculated cost to it.
It will be for each cost element.
In this case you will need to modify your calcPrice() function a little bit to accept it as the element id too
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <td class="body"><input name="cost1" id="cost1" size="12" value="0.00"
  2. tabindex="-1" readonly="readonly" onFocus="return calcPrice('price1','qty1');" />
  3. </td>

How would I need to modify the calcPrice() function to accept it as the element id? I know this may be a noob question...as I am indeed a noob at JavaScript

All I need to know now is how to modify the calcPrice() function which is as follows
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. function calcPrice() {
  2. product = document.form1.prod;
  3. pindex = product.selectedIndex;
  4. product_price = product.options[pindex].value;
  5. quantity = document.form1.qty;
  6. qindex = quantity.selectedIndex;
  7. quantity_ordered = quantity.options[qindex].value;
  8. document.form1.price.value = product_price*quantity_ordered;
  9. }
to accept the
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. onFocus="return calcPrice('price1','qty1');"
which would allow the prices and everything to change. I am sorry for asking all of these questions, but my teacher knows nothing about JavaScript.
