My
JS is average but I found your objective useful for me to have a go. Try:
----cut n paste code: name your page addScoreswithJS.asp-----
<html>
<head>
<title>calculate client side values</title>
<script>
function validateScores()
{
if(document.theForm.s1.value == "")
{
alert("Please enter a score in box one");
document.theForm.s1.focus();
document.theForm.s1.select();
return(false);
}
if(isNaN(parseInt(document.theForm.s1.value)))
{
alert("The value in box one must be an integer");
document.theForm.s1.focus();
document.theForm.s1.select();
return(false);
}
if(document.theForm.s2.value == "")
{
alert("Please enter a score in box two");
document.theForm.s2.focus();
document.theForm.s2.select();
return(false);
}
if(isNaN(parseInt(document.theForm.s2.value)))
{
alert("The value in box two must be an integer");
document.theForm.s2.focus();
document.theForm.s2.select();
return(false);
}
document.theForm.posted.value = "y";
return(true)
}
function addScores(scoreValue)
{
var scoreOne;
scoreOne = (scoreValue);
parseInt(scoreOne);
parseInt(document.theForm.RunningTotal.value);
(document.theForm.RunningTotal.value = (document.theForm.RunningTotal.value + parseInt(scoreOne)));
}
function resetValues()
{
document.theForm.s1.value='';
document.theForm.s2.value='';
document.theForm.RunningTotal.value='';
document.theForm.posted.value = '';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<%
if request.form("posted") = "y" then
response.write "<b>The form has been posted - your total is " & request.form("RunningTotal") & "</b>"
else
response.write "<B>Enter scores - the last box should calculate and display the runing total.</b>"
end if
%>
<form name="theForm" method="post" action="addScoreswithJS.asp" onsubmit="return validateScores();">
<input type="hidden" name="posted" value="">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Score One:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<Td><input type="text" name="s1" value="<% if request.form("s1") <> "" then response.write request.form("s1") end if %>" size="5"></td>
</tR>
<tr>

<tr>
<Td><input type="text" onClick="javascript
:addScores(document.theForm.s1. value);" value="<% if request.form("s2") <> "" then response.write request.form("s2") end if %>" name="s2" size="5"></td>

:addScores(document.theForm.s2. value);"> <INPUT type="button" value="Reset Values" onClick="resetValues();"></td>

</table>
</form>
</body>
