If value of text field

[riteoh]

Hi,

I have the following code written...

Totamt = 
     eval(TotA) +
     eval(TotB) +
     eval(TotC) +
     eval(TotD) ;
 
     if (Code =="ABC")
        {Discount = Totamt * .05};
        Totamt = Totamt - Discount;
 
    if (eval(Totamt) > 75)
        {Discount = Totamt * .1};
        Totamt = Totamt - Discount;
 

Apart from my form calculating the sums of Products A, B, C & D, if the value entered into the field 'Code' =ABC, I want the Discount amt of 5% to be applied - however once I have added this field, I no longer get an order total, no matter whether the order is > 75, OR the 'code' of ABC is entered.

Being a complete novice to javascript, can somebody tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks.

if (Code =="ABC")

You can't compare Strings using the == operator; as a matter of fact you can't
compare any object value using that operator. The == operator compares the
object references, not their values. You have to use the equals() method for that:

if (Code.equals("ABC"))
 

btw, there's a convention that all variables and methods start with a lower case
letter; classes, interfaces and enumerations start with an upper case letter. Better
stick to that convention.

kind regards,

Jos

One thing would be: Java is not JavaScript.
It's a common mistake. So, if you actually mean JavaScript, the JavaScript Forum is here. Otherwise, you're right here. :-)

Post the HTML code and how you're calling the function.

Please use code tags when posting code (see How to Ask a Question). Thanks!
