Update form input field


BinaryBridge

Recommended Posts

I have a form that updates a total based on the fields values entered on a form when the user leaves each field.

This works fine but I also want to update one of the entry fields which is a percentage of another.

 

I have in my js

 

   var theForm = document.forms[frm];
   var eTotal = theForm.elements["Total"];
    var ePremium = theForm.elements["Premium"];
    if (eTotal.value > 0) {
        var PremAmount = parseFloat(eTotal.value * ePremium.value / 100);
    }
 
    var divobj = document.getElementById('PremAmount');
    divobj.innerHTML = PremAmount.toFixed(2);
 
 
Which is called with
onblur="addPrem('totals')"
 
The original value in the totals field from the MySQL table is 770.00
This produces the following html page
<input name="PremAmount" tabindex="1" class="ent" id="PremAmount" size="2" value="77.00">
 
When I change the total to 888.00 I get the following 
 
<input name="PremAmount" tabindex="1" class="ent" id="PremAmount" size="2" value="77.00">88.80</input>
 
So it looks like it's working but writing a div rather than into the field itself
 
Can anyone help me with this please
