I need to know what value your suppose to get in the field.

I'm trying to have the total amount be the amount paid x 3%.

I thought I had it correct but when it went to the checkout, it saw the calculation as a quantity and multiplied it.

Did you set one as a multiplier in the elements properties box for payments?

uh oh - I don't think so. Where should I have done that?

I have three elements.
One is the price input
two was the total including handling fee - see below. Is that where I should be putting it?

then the HTML element.

If I understand you correctly. Try this.

I have a similar simple problem and have done my best to create a JQuery based on Eric's original example. However I can't get it working. I simply want to subtract an actual amount from a budget amount and display the difference in the next field down. I'm just not familiar enough with JQuery language. Could someone help? Looks like I can't attach the form, so here is my JQuery

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){
$('#number10').keyup(function(){
var valone = $('#number10').val();
var valtwo = $('#number11').val();
var total = (valone - valtwo);
$('#number37').val(total);
});
$('#number11').keyup(function(){
var valone = $('#number10').val();
var valtwo = $('#number11').val();
var total = (valone - valtwo);
$('#number37').val(total);
});
});</script>

Thanks to everyone who volunteers here

Hi David, Do these id's actually exist on the form? These should match the id's of the inputs on your form.
#number10
#number11
#number37
They should be similar to this unless you altered the form.
#item1_number_1
Also you left off the s in this script.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Hi Eric

Thanks for offering to help!

Those are the Names of the form elements involved. Is that the same as IDs?

I fixed the https and tested it just using the Preview control, but it still didn't work. Wold that have prevented access to the resource?

It is 1:30 am so I have to go to bed now and do any other testing in the morning.

Could there be something blocking the JQuery for some security reason? I just have a normal hostgator server with no special security on it

Thanks again

Cheers

Can you provide a link?

After studying up a bit on JQuery I now understand what you meant by '#item1_number_1' .

On the way to this understanding I started using $('input[name=number10]') (or $('select...) . I liked these because they referred to the same names that I could see clearly in the Web Form Builder window.

I'm really enjoying my little JQuery adventure. Never heard of it before. Great stuff!

Thanks for your help, Eric!
