Calculating number values with radio button values

    Hi guys:

    This little bit code is what’s keeping me from completing a large project where users can have their songs mastered at a varying range of prices. 1-3 for $75 each; 4-6 for $65 each; 7-12 for $55 each. I’ve been able to successfully create an equation and it is working perfectly:

    (function(){
    if(fieldname10 <= 3) return fieldname10*75;
    if(fieldname10 >= 4 && fieldname10 <= 6) return fieldname10*65;
    if(fieldname10 >= 7 && fieldname10 <= 12) return fieldname10*55;
    })();

    The hiccup is that there are also “extras” a user can choose with your order represented as radio buttons. I’ve seen the jquery examples at how to recognize a selected radio button but I have no idea how to make this work – mainly, grab the price associated with the radio buttons ($25) and pass it as equation: radio button + total = Grand Total. Can someone please lend some assistance.? Thank you so much.

    Hello,

    The easiest way would be enter the prices as the values of the radio button’s choices. For example, if the radio buttons field is the fieldname11, the equation could be:

    (function(){
var n = 0;
if(fieldname10 <= 3) n = 75;
else if(fieldname10 <= 6) n = 65;
else if(fieldname10 <= 12) n = 55;

return fieldname10*n+fieldname11;
})();

    Best regards.

    Thank you for this. The question is more of how do I (a) identify and extract the value from a specific radio button and (b) add that value to a “Total” field that calculated a value from anther place in the form. From what you list above, just referencing the field isn’t going to help since it is specific choices of that field that I need.

    For example, the radio buttons are:

    x = FREE
    y = $25
    x = $25

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    The texts and values of radio buttons are independents, you can define the choices as:

    First choice:
    Text: Free
    Value: 0

    Second choice:
    Text: $25
    Value: 25

    If the radio buttons field is the fieldname1, and the other calculated field is the fieldname2, the equation associated to the calculated field for the total would be simply:

    fieldname1+fieldname2

    Best regards.

    I figured it out! Your code worked but I couldn’t understand it. But now I do. As always many thanks from the forum!
