Don't know that much about it, but don't you need an id='cents' tag in your input statement?

ronverdonk has it. The code is looking for a tag with an ID of "cents", but there are not any. So the object that it should be getting is null.

The code you posted seems to be working somewhat fine for me. You may want to get rid of the extra .00 after say you put in 150 it will give you 1.5.00

just change your code from

var cents = document.money.cents.value;

to

var cents = document.forms.money.cents.value;
(or)
var cents = window.money.cents.value;
