I've written a little script to add up a group of 8 boxes, I just can't figure out how to make this work for a page of 7 groups of 8 boxes (hope that makes sense 
). Here's the code so far:
Here's the boxes html:
Currently the Javascript adds up all the numbers from the boxes and puts the comment in the last box, but I have 6 other groups of these and the name structure for the next one is 'g2a1' and the total is called 'total2' and so on. I was thinking about adding a parameter to the add() function, any ideas?
). Here's the code so far:
Code:
function add() {
my = document.totals;
var box1 = parseInt(my.g1a1.value,10);
var box2 = parseInt(my.g1a2.value,10);
var box3 = parseInt(my.g1a3.value,10);
var box4 = parseInt(my.g1a4.value,10);
var box5 = parseInt(my.g1a5.value,10);
var box6 = parseInt(my.g1a6.value,10);
var box7 = parseInt(my.g1a7.value,10);
var box8 = parseInt(my.g1a8.value,10);
gtotal = box1 + box2 + box3 + box4 + box5 + box6 + box7 + box8;
if (isNaN(gtotal)) {
my.total1.value = "Please distribute only numbers";
} else if (gtotal < 10) {
my.total1.value = "Add " + (10 - gtotal);
} else if (gtotal > 10) {
my.total1.value = "Subtract " + (gtotal - 10);
} else {
my.total1.value = gtotal;
}
}
Code:
<li class="answer"><input type="text" name="g1a1" id="g1a1" value="0" onKeyUp="add()"></li>
<li class="answer"><input type="text" name="g1a2" id="g1a2" value="0" onKeyUp="add()"></li>
<li class="answer"><input type="text" name="g1a3" id="g1a3" value="0" onKeyUp="add()"></li>
