Jquery calculation question

[ConceptDestiny]

Hey guys,

Had something bugging me for ages. I'm pretty newbie to jquery, so I was wondering if you guys might have an ideas. First the code:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(
		function (){
			// automatically allocates level points
			$("input[id^=levelsum]").sum("keyup", "#totalpoints");			
		}
	);
</script>

I'm trying to add a calculation directly onto the levelsum input (i.e. levelsum*10/0.5), then output it into #totalpoints. Any ideas out there? :/

I guess you need the awnser to be output. If the sum is correct ( which i don`t know know , mainly because you want (level * 10) /0.5 or something else?

Anyway, i guess you should fetch the awnser and write it as output. So not direct, but indirect.

Im not exactly sure what're you getting at here but this is what I'd do If I wanted to calculate level points through jquery...

Code: Select all

   $(document).ready(function (){
          points = $('#levelsum').val();        
          totalpoints = (levelsum*10)/5;
          $("#totalpoints").val(totalpoints);         
      });

You need to do the calculation and then set the value of the input fields... using the .val() method... the $('#totalpoints') refers to <input type='text' id='totalpoints'> or if you want it as a span you could do this.. <span id='totalpoints'></span> and then replace the last line of code above with $('#totalpoints').text(totalpoints);

If this is what you mean?
