Simple Addition

[Raja Islam]

Hi
there is no error in it but it produce addition like 1261 that instead of 10.

var j=0
var k=0
var total=0
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
{
x.form.elements[j+2].value=(x.form.elements[j].value)*(x.form.elements[j+1].value)
k=total+x.form[j+2].value//something wrong here
total=k
j=j+3
}

Hi Raja,
shouldn't x.form[j+2].value be x.form.elements[j+2].value ?
Check out also the function eval() e.g. eval( value + otherValue ) -- returns a number if mathematically interpretable.
There's also parseInt() and parseFloat().
ot: could it be, that my name in english and your name in your language have a fairly adequate meaning ? ...somehow

the 1621 is adding a tring together, use parsezInt(FormValue) to get it to a number
