var total = this.getField(a1)
console.println(total)
 
When running this code or anyother simple code refrencing text fields its just telling me that my text fields are undefined ive double checked for case changed names tried different fields and nothing is working.  Have used text fields before without issue.
var total = this.getField(a1)
 
console.println(total)
ReferenceError: a1 is not defined
1:Console:Exec
undefined

You need to use quotes around a1, like this "a1".

Also if you want to print a field value add  .value like this: var total = this.getField("a1").value
