This is my first attempt at a web form and everything works until the final function, which returns a ReferenceError of:

E = (document.getElementById("Distribution5"), A + B + C + D, System.ReferenceError('Reference required on left side of assignment operator'));

This is the code I'm trying to use:

<script>
function cal1(){
var Units = document.getElementById('Units').value;
var Payout = document.getElementById('Payout').value;
document.getElementById('Distribution').value =Units*Payout;
}
</script>

<script>
function cal2(){
var Units2 = document.getElementById('Units2').value;
var Payout2 = document.getElementById('Payout2').value;
document.getElementById('Distribution2').value =Units2*Payout2;
}
</script>

<script>
function cal3(){
var Units3 = document.getElementById('Units3').value;
var Payout3 = document.getElementById('Payout3').value;
document.getElementById('Distribution3').value =Units3*Payout3;
}
</script>

<script>
function cal4(){
var Units4 = document.getElementById('Units4').value;
var Payout4 = document.getElementById('Payout4').value;
document.getElementById('Distribution4').value =Units4*Payout4;
}
</script>

<script>
function cal5() {
A = document.getElementById('Distribution');
B = document.getElementById('Distribution2');
C = document.getElementById('Distribution3');
D = document.getElementById('Distribution4');
E = (A + B + C + D)
E = document.getElementById('Distribution5')= A+B+C+D;
}
</script>

I am sure this is very elementary but any help would be very much appreciated!

TIA

Hii Mfero!!
your cal5 funcation should be like this
<script>
 function cal5() {
A = document.getElementById('Distribution').value;
B = document.getElementById('Distribution2').value;
C = document.getElementById('Distribution3').value;
D = document.getElementById('Distribution4').value;
E = (A + B + C + D)
//E = document.getElementById('Distribution5')= A+B+C+D;
document.getElementById('Distribution5').value=E
}
</script>

Make sure that document.getElementById('Distribution') to document.getElementById('Distribution4') has some values
since document.getElementById('Distribution4') returns object,not the actual value ,in order to add those elements you need
document.getElementById('Distribution4').value.

Hope this will help you


Cheers :)

Your missing the semi-colon at the end of the line , E = (A + B + C + D)
