I am having an issue with a Javascript

I am new to Java Scripts. I read several online articles and have had some success but the one I am trying to attempt is not working.  I am on Adobe XI Pro.

What I am trying is a simple algebra calculation  E = A-(B+C+D).     I didn't use the Simplified Calculations because my fields were named with Symbols and Spaces automatically when I created the document.  I was having a problem with the calculation order here anyway.

I have attempted this in two different formats - please see below but neither give ma a calculation.  I am not getting any errors they just don't work.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Something very important to remember is that JS is case-sensitive.

So replace "Event" with "event" and it should work...

Hi.

JavaScript is case sensitive, so you should use "event.value" instead of "Event.value".

You should activate the JavaScript Console too.
