I am very new to Javascript. I am running to a problem and don't know how to solve it. Could you please help?
Basically, I want to create some textboxes and checkboxes in a
form. Then I have to validate those fields, and add the values of the checkboxes if they are selected. One of the textboxes asking for how many semesters attended, and 3 checkboxes with value of 100, 1000, and 750. Whichever checkbox is selected, it should multiply its value to the number of semesters attended. For example if the first two checkboxes are selected then totalCost = (100+1000)* semester.
Here is my code:
User Name:
<label>User Address:
<input type = "text" id ="address" size = "30"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label> User E-mail address:
<input type = "text" id ="email" size = "30"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label> User Phone number:
<input type = "text" id ="phone" size = "30"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label> User area code:
<input type = "text" id ="area" size = "30"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label> User SSN:
<input type = "text" id ="ssn" size = "30"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label> User Birthday:
<input type = "text" id ="birthday" size = "30"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label> Number of semester attended:
<input type = "text" id ="semester" size = "3"/></label>
<br/><br/>
<label><input type="checkbox" id="box_book" value="100"/>Books $100 per
semester</label>
<br/>
<label><input type="checkbox" id="box_tuition" value="1000"/>Tuition $1000
per semester</label>
<br/>
<label><input type="checkbox" id="box_room" value="750"/>Room and Board
$750 per semester</label>
<br/>
