Please note that th tag is used to add table header. You are not supposed to use it for table data. You should use td instead.

Regarding JS, adding to Dormilich say: what is your JS problem to help you in? We are not supposed to give you help with a complete solution without especially if you don't start helping yourself first. Give it a try and if you get stuck, post and we will see how we can help.

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkTotal() {
document.listForm.total.value = '';
var sum = 0;
for (i=0;i<document.listForm.choice.length;i++) {
if (document.listForm.choice[i].checked) {
sum = sum + parseInt(document.listForm.choice[i].value);
}
}
document.listForm.total.value = sum;
}
</script>
 
<form name="listForm">
<input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="2" onchange="checkTotal()"/>2<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="5" onchange="checkTotal()"/>5<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="10" onchange="checkTotal()"/>10<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="20" onchange="checkTotal()"/>20<br/>
Total: <input type="text" size="2" name="total" value="0"/>
</form>

-----------------------------------------------
instead of the value above, now i want that value coming from mysql database. This is my code below getting record from sql

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
 
mysql_select_db("studentrecord", $con);
 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM miscellaneous");
 
 
 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th scope='row' class='spec'>" . '<input name="selector[]" type="checkbox" value="'.$row['Misc_Code'].'">' . "</th>";
 
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<td>" . $row['Misc_Amount'] . "</td></br>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
 
mysql_close($con);
?>
