help with javascript

I'm trying to adapt code to my needs but am having problems with it.

I have checkbox fields with numbers as export values and trying to sum those values if checkboxes are checked, here is what I have:

var total = "";
for (var i=1; i<=5; i++) {
if (this.getField("C"+i).valueAsString!= "Off") total = this.getField("C"+i).value;
}
event.value = total;

You don't need a script for this. At calculation use the option "Value is the sum of the following fields".

I can't do that because I have other calculations in the same field.

You're not adding up the values, but overwriting them.

Change this:

total = this.getField("C"+i).value;

To:

total += Number(this.getField("C"+i).valueAsString);

I tried that already but I'm getting value as string e.g. 100200300 instead of 600.

Change the first line to:

var total = 0;

Thank you, that worked.
