Simple calculation (adding) in javascript

[ap.sakala]

Hello,

How the heck should I make this simple summering of a data without a
submit button?

Like in an excel sheet I would like to have a couple of cells in a
column and as soon the visitor types the number the sum should change,
regardless of how many raws there are and based on the setting
(adding, multiplying etc).

I would appreciate the code, link to the code or suggestions.

Thanks in advance. :)

Any specific reason why?

Open a CPU monitor. Open the page you referenced, then watch the CPU
usage climb when you put focus on one of the inputs.

Got better?

Search this group, there are hundreds of examples:

function calc(f){
f.thirdBox.valu e = +firstBox.value + +secondBox.valu e;
}

<form name="autoSumFo rm" action="">
<input type=text name="firstBox" onchange="calc( this.form);">
<input type=text name="secondBox " onchange="calc( this.form);">
<input type=text name="thirdBox" readonly>
</form>

But any time a user input is required you need to sanitize the entry.

Why so much negative energy?

Instead you could be more productive and type your code
that is better and more usefull than this one (that works just fine
btw) :)

Generally speaking, this newsgroup is a forum where people who are
interested in developing code in Javascript can share information.
It's not a place where somebody who has no interest in learning to
write code asks other people to do the work for them.

Why so much negative energy?

Because without it to counteract all the positive energy in the universe
the universe would collapse and it would be all my fault.

Seriously, after you read about 3,000 posts from Google Groups users who
don't even come close to even trying to write code and they are asking
for someone to write the code for free, it becomes hard (if not
impossible) to maintain a positive attitude about it.

Instead you could be more productive and type your code

I do type my code, one letter at the time. Why won't I type code to do
what you want? Because I have no use for it. If you are seriously
interested in knowing what is wrong with that code, or want to learn JS,
then by all means post back and I will explain it.

I second Randy. It would be great if people actually doing some
research before asking a question. It's even best if later the person
who was asking question, return to share his findings/solutions.
That's how the community should work.
