Need some help with coding (ASP)

Report · Mar 06, 2009

I am reworking some pages and can't figure out how to do some things in Dreamweaver CS4. First thing is how can I make two or three fields add up and have the sum go into another field.

I am using DW CS4, a SQL database and asp pages.

Another question I have is: I have an insert record page set up but I need to change one of the fields from text to menu. How can I do this without having to redo the entire page?

Do you want this to appear in the field as the user is entering data or
after the form is submitted?

Preferable as the user is entering data.

Then you would have to use javascript for that.

<script type="text/javascript">
function addEm(x,y) {
return parseInt(x)+parseInt(y);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<p>value:
<input type="text" name="value1" id="value1"
onchange="document.form1.sum.value=addEm(this.value,
document.form1.value2.value);" value="0" />
</p>
<p>value:
<input type="text" name="value2" id="value2"
onchange="document.form1.sum.value=addEm(this.value,
document.form1.value1.value);" value="0" />
</p>
<p>sum:
<input type="text" name="sum" id="sum" value="0" readonly="readonly" />
</p>
</form>

Okay, thanks. I'll give it a try.

Another question I have is: I have an insert record page set up but I need to change one of the fields from text to menu. How can I do this without having to redo the entire page?

Edit the HTML/scripting on the page so that your <input> tag has been
replaced with a <select> tag with appropriate list elements.

I'm getting this error and cannot work out why:

Operand type clash: float is incompatible with text

I am not using float anywhere in the page, that I can tell. Can anyone give me any idea as to why this might be happening? The page was working fine this morning and after I started getting this error, I went and completely recreated the page but I am still getting it.

> I am not using float anywhere in the page

The error is not talking about a CSS float. It is talking about trying to
use an algebraic operand on a TEXT value, e.g., you may be trying to add 234
to apple.
