Are you aware that JavaScript has different operators for testing for equality and setting a value?

There are 2 equality operators, "==" and "===". The first is for a match the second is for an exact match.

Values are set by using the "=" operator.

   // JavaScript Document

    var x = this.getField("BONUS").value;

    var y = this.getField("Modifier").value;

    if (this.getField("PRO").value == "Yes")  // Pro has been selected;

{

       this.getField("Total").value = x + y;  // add values for bonus and modifier;

}

       else

{

             this.getField("Total").value = y; // only modifier;

}

Thanks good to know added to my notes, self learning JavaScript

so it should look like this

   // JavaScript Document

    var x = this.getField("BONUS").value;

    var y = this.getField("Modifier").value; //

    if (this.getField("PRO").value == "Yes") // check to see if field = yes

{

       this.getField("Total").value = x+y; //should add Var x+x but does not

}

       else

{

        this.getField("Total").value = y; // if Pro Field does not match Total field will = Y

} 

    if (this.getField("EXP").value == "Yes") // check to see if field = yes

{

       this.getField("Total").value = x+x+y; // adds X+X+Y

}

       else

{

        this.getField("Total").value = y; // if EXP Field does not match Total field will = Y

} 

When test the each if statement independently they work as soon as i add the second if statement it seem to bypass the first one
