Javascript radio button value plus other text box

hi
i am not sure what are you trying to accomplish you want to apply two sets of execution under same function? what is the purpose of combinng two different execution under same function or you want to execute further action under the same button please clarify/

thanks

I want a specific graphic to display if the TOTAL amount (from both sets of buttons) >= 29.

put the graphic in the div and add its propety to be
display=none

in the javascript add another if block

if (iAmt==29) {
            here div display = block
      }


you need add a right syntax i have given a rough example.

thanks

I need to add the values from BOTH sets of radio buttons combined, plus the value entered into the OtherAmt text boxes.

I have the functionality in place to handle the graphic.  It's the evaluation of amounts I need the help with.

all you have to do is check variable value by comparing it to the dynamic value selected by the user if i am perceiving the same problem as you are.

thanks

I need a code example of how to refer to the variable named radio buttons please.

If your radio buttons look like this:

<form name="frmRadio" method="post">
    <input name="choice" value="1" type="radio" />1 
    <input name="choice" value="2" type="radio" />2 
    <input name="choice" value="3" type="radio" />3 
    <input name="choice" value="4" type="radio" />4
</form>

Select allOpen in new window

Your javascript to get the value of the button selected looks like this:

	<script language="JavaScript">
 
		function getRadioValue() {
			for (index=0; index < document.frmRadio.choice.length; index++) {
				if (document.frmRadio.choice[index].checked) {
					var radioValue = document.frmRadio.choice[index].value;
					break;
				}
			}
		}
 
	</script>

Select allOpen in new window

How can I reference the radio buttons that have names that are set via the PHP code?  Please see my code above.

The radio button name is RB + a variable name set in PHP.

A few thoughts...
1- names should be the same... make the IDs unique.  That way you can use the standard code for what you are trying to accomplish.

2- if you must have irregular names... the easy way out?
  a- declare a global variable
  b- add another function call to the onclick event that updates the value of the global variable to "this.id"
  c- whenever you want the value of the radio button that is selected, reference that new global variable.

3- if you must use irregular names... a method coders would consider better than my suggestion #2... use getElementsByTagName such as the following (totally untested, just typing it up as I go)

var allinputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
var re = new RegExp('^RB-','i');

for (var i = 0; i < allinputs.length; i++) {
  if(allinputs[i].name && re.test(allinputs[i].name)) {
    //looking at an input that starts with 'RB'
    if (allinputs[i].checked) {
      //whatever you want to do with it
    }
  }
}

nap0lean,
I'm sorry for any confusion.  I have 2 SETS of radio buttons.  The first set all have the same name, the second all have the same name but different from the first set.

I need the total of Set A value + Set B value.

I will try your suggestions in the morning.

nap0lean -

I have the getElementsByClassName working - exactly what I was looking for.  But how can I evaluate the value as numeric rather than strings?

I am attaching my code.

If I choose Set A button of 19 and Set B button of 29, the alert displays 1929.

textbox = document.getElementsByClassName('AddIt');
var iAmt = 0;
for (var i=0; i<textbox.length; i++) {
	if (textbox[i].checked) {
		iAmt = iAmt + textbox[i].value;
	}
}
alert(iAmt);

I have tried both parsefloat and intval.  I do not see an error but it does not evaluate the iAmt = iAmt + line.

Uncaught ReferenceError: parsefloat is not defined & intval is not defined

but parseFloat is case sensitive.

Works perfectly.  Thanks for all of the help!

oops - my bad - glad you caught it - should be parseFloat() not parsefloat.
