please check this code !!!!!

I am trying to add values from 6 text boxes and display its sum automatically in 7th text box. This is not working. Please help.





function calculate_a() {
var a = document.getElementById('Para_A_A1_score').value ;
var b = document.getElementById('Para_A_A2_score').value ;
var c = document.getElementById('Para_A_A3_score').value ;
var d = document.getElementById('Para_A_A4_score').value ;
var e = document.getElementById('Para_A_A5_score').value ;
var f = document.getElementById('Para_A_A6_score').value ;
var g = (a+b+c+d+e+f) ;
document.audit_billing_IE.product_name4.value = g ;
}

Below is the html form code that should automatically display the total value without clicking on any submit or send button

<tr>
<td> Parameter A </td>
<td colspan='3'> <input type="text" name="product_name4" id="product_name4" onchange="calculate_a(this);" /> </td>
</tr>

1) The score values as input by the user are strings, not numbers. You must convert them to numbers and also check that they are in fact numbers, with e.g.

var a = Number(document.getElementById('Para_A_A1_score').value) || 0; // if a is not a number assign the value 0
document.getElementById('Para_A_A1_score').value = a; // write the value back to the field

2) Your onchange event handler makes no sense. You need to call the function calculate_a() onchange or onblur from each of the six textboxes, so that the sum total will update each time. Note that if the field is left blank the Number() method will convert that to 0.

<input type = "text" id = "Para_A_A1_score" onchange = "calculate_a()">
