Hey Eric,

Ok, so I did what you said and a couple things....

1. I see dollar signs now in the totals in the form, awesome. Thank you.

-BUT-

2. Those dollar signs don't come thru int he email that is submitted
3. If I do an order, submit, and then go back and do another order, the first line will say "enter a valid number", but it is a valid number entered.

Of these though, #2 is most important. If you can tell me how to pass the dollar sign on the totals thru to the email that is received as well, that would be awesome! I owe you a beer! ;)

Did you redo your form to change that total to a text field instead of a number. This has to be done in the form builder so your validation works.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

After the total box is changed to a text box, should I change "item666_text_666" to "item666_number_666" ?

OR

Should I leave it as "item666_text_666" and change it to that in the javascript code?

I think I may have it now. In your line you have: '$' which didnt seam to work. I had to change it to: "$"

item666_number_666 this will be found out after you add a text input to your form. You can then look at the source code and find out what the ID ended up becoming.

You were instrumental Eric. Thank you for the lesson. What's your Paypal email address? When I get my next payment, I'll throw you some bones ;)

One last question Eric. If it's an easy fix? Right now the output has each line total looking like this, as an example: 21.5 Is there an easy way to get it to look like this: $21.50 ?
