Sending Javascript variables.
- by shinjuo
I have a page that allows a user to choose some things in a form and it will calculate the weight using javascript. It breaks it up into 5 variables that I need to send to another page. Originally I was just having it put the variable into a text box and then I was posting that text box. However I dont want to have 5 text boxes. So now I need to somehow send or post the five variables to another page. Here is my javascript function. I need to post weightBoxOne - weightBoxFive
js function
function getWeight(){
var weightBoxOne;
var weightBoxTwo;
var totalWeight;
var box = .5;
var quantity = document.dhform.quantity.value;
var cardSize = document.dhform.cardSize.value;
if(cardSize == 0.0141){
if(quantity <= 1000){
weightBoxOne = (quantity * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne;
}else if(quantity > 1000 && quantity <= 2000){
weightBoxOne = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxTwo = ((quantity - 1000) * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne + weightBoxTwo;
}else if(quantity > 2000 && quantity <= 3000){
weightBoxOne = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxTwo = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxThree = ((quantity - 2000) * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne + weightBoxTwo + weightBoxThree;
}else if(quantity > 3000 && quantity <= 4000){
weightBoxOne = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxTwo = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxThree = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxFour = ((quantity - 3000) * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne + weightBoxTwo + weightBoxThree + weightBoxFour;
}else{
weightBoxOne = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxTwo = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxThree = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxFour = (1000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxFive = ((quantity - 4000) * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne + weightBoxTwo + weightBoxThree + weightBoxFour + weightBoxFive;
}
}else if(cardSize == 0.00949){
if(quantity <= 4000){
weightBoxOne = (quantity * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne;
}else{
weightBoxOne = (4000 * cardSize) + box;
weightBoxTwo = ((quantity - 4000) * cardSize) + box;
totalWeight = weightBoxOne + weightBoxTwo;
}
}
document.rates.weight.value = totalWeight;
}
