Why does this JavaScript not correctly update input values?
- by dmanexe
I have two input fields, and without changing their names (i.e., I have to use the name with the brackets), how do I make this javascript code work?
<script>
function calc_concreteprice(mainform) {
var oprice;
var ototal;
oprice = (eval(mainform.'estimate[concrete][sqft]'.value) * eval(mainform.'estimate[concrete][price]'.value));
ototal = (oprice);
mainform.'estimate[concrete][quick_total]'.value = ototal;
}
</script>
Here's the HTML of the input area.
<tr>
<td>Concrete Base Price</td>
<td><input type="text" name="concrete[concrete][price]" value="" class="item_mult" onBlur="calc_concreteprice(document.forms.mainform);" /> per SF <strong>times</strong> <input type="text" name="concrete[concrete][sqft]" value="" class="item_mult" onBlur="calc_concreteprice(document.forms.mainform);" /> SF</td>
<td> = <input type="text" name="concrete[concrete][quick_total]" value="" /></td>
</tr>
I know I can get it working by changing_the_input_name_with_underscores but I need to have the names with the brackets (storing the form contents in an array).
