I think there's already a way to do this, but I can't find the code anywhere. I want to add a 'calculate' button to my form, and have it add certain fields together, and place the total into a 'total' text box. Does anyone have the code for that? Or will it work with this type of form?

Thanks!

That sounds like a pretty good idea...there is nothing like that now but I'll see if I can incorporate it into the next set of updates for the tool...hopefully by August.

Thanks,

Oh Goodie!

I can hardly wait til the end of summer to see if you come up with the code! I set my form up to be an order form, and the user will be the one entering the line item totals manually. So I was wanting to add the 'calculate' button to have it add all of the line item total fields, and put the final value into an order_total text box.

I'm currently playing around with different scripts, in hopes of successfully modifying one into working. If I manage to get it, I'll sure let you know.

This is a great form! Loving it already!
