Javascript not working in Firefox

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my javascript to run in Firefox (version 2.0). It works fine in IE6.

Here's the HTML:

HTML Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <td>
  2.   Black Eyed Susan
  3. </td>
  4. <td align="center">
  5.   <input type="text" name="blackeyedsusan" value="" size="3" maxlength="3" onChange="javascript:calculatecharges();"/>
  6. </td>


And the script:

JavaScript Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. function calculatecharges() {
  2.     var totalPackets = 
  3.         Number(blackeyedsusan.value) +
  4.         ... various other things...    ;

When this function executes, I get the following error on the Error Console:

Error: blackeyedsusan is not defined


Any ideas?

I think you need to reference the form name as well so it would be something like this:

Number(document.formName.blackeyedsusan.value) ...
