Autosum input type=text when checkbox is true

do you want to do this client side i assume?

can you show us what you've gotten so far and where you need help?

Hi Big Monty, what I have so far is just the layout for what I want, nothing else (code above)

Add a class name to each of your individual text box that you want to add. Call it "addUp". Then, you could use the following jquery to add up each of those text boxes:

$(document).on("change", ".addUp", function() {
    var sum = 0;
    $(".addUp").each(function(){
        sum += +$(this).val();
    });
    $("#totalrecon").val(sum);
});

I don't really understand what " to autosum into either debittotal or credittotal (which ever side they are)" means, so let's skip that part for now. Put in the code above, see if you can get that working, then report back.

Hi, sorry was away for a tournament

thanks for the help BigMonty as always, I have applied the code you have suggested:

looking at the page itself, i cant see any physical difference... is this correct?

please set up a jsFiddle and we can diagnose it from there

sorry, jsFiddle?

jsFiddle is a site where you can write out html / javascript all on the same page and allow others to view and run it. Essentially it'll allow for us to collaborate together on the code

oh right! here we are! :)

Hi BigMonty, how did you go with my Fiddle? :)

just checked the link, didnt work...

https://jsfiddle.net/webber4/Ls3ap0th/3/

I'll try to get to this within the next few days, as I'm on travel in Australia right now

Oh are you? Im in Aus! :) Where abouts are you?

And no issues with getting to it :)

I visiting Melbourne for 2 weeks... How about you?

I'm on the other side of Aus in Perth. Welcome! Too bad the weather isn't flash!

Hehe thanks... Weather here is a lot nicer than Boston, where it's hotter than hell :)

I was in Boston in OCT/NOV last year, definitely do not remember it being hot :P

This is still ongoing, please keep open

i just got back from australia today, will have a look later on to resume this question

fantastic, thank you

have a go with this fiddle and let me know if I'm close. If so, I'll do a write up explaining more what you need to do to incorporate it into your code if you like:

Thanks for the BigMonty, working great, however for some reason when line 2 is checked with the line above or below, it doubles the value? very strange

Hey mate, how did you go on this?

I'll try to have a look at both of your questions later on today. I think we're really close and should have a solution for you soon.

fantastic! thank you!

Works perfect! Thank you!
