Hi all,

im looking for some help with some javascript if thats ok.

I am building a system for creating a booklet.
I want the user to be able to select the quantity of booklets they require. (eg 50, 75, 100, 125)

Then also select the number of pages each booklet will require. (eg. 4, 8, 12)

both will be select drop down boxes.

I would like the price to be calculated based on the selections and displayed on the page.

It will be total price not price per booklet.

This is how i have built up the prices in php.
if($b_maxpages == '4' && $b_quantity == '50') { $amount = "95.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '4' && $b_quantity == '75') { $amount = "103.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '4' && $b_quantity == '100') { $amount = "115.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '4' && $b_quantity == '125') { $amount = "132.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '8' && $b_quantity == '50') { $amount = "147.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '8' && $b_quantity == '75') { $amount = "171.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '8' && $b_quantity == '100') { $amount = "194.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '8' && $b_quantity == '125') { $amount = "218.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '12' && $b_quantity == '50') { $amount = "190.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '12' && $b_quantity == '75') { $amount = "222.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '12' && $b_quantity == '100') { $amount = "255.00"; }
elseif($b_maxpages == '12' && $b_quantity == '125') { $amount = "288.00"; }

I will also need the selected data to be posted once the form is submitted.

Cheers
vince

VLowe,

Probably easiest to do this by lookup rather than a series of ifs.
