First off, thanks mainewoods for finding my mispelling in my last code.  Now, I am trying to calculate the total points with a different value for each species of fish on the form.

 

I thought I could use an "if" statement that would provide the correct value to multiply by.  But it seems it isn't so easy. 

 

My code is shown below.  How do I apply a different value for the var species1 in my function. 

 

For example if "species"=1 then {var species1=10}  I would hope??????

 

<html>
<head>
<title>Kayak Wars Submission Form</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function calc_points()
{
if (getElementById("species").value=0) {var species1 = 0};
if (getElementById("species").value=1) {var species1 = 10};
if (getElementById("species").value=2) {var species1 = 10};
if (getElementById("species").value=3) {var species1 = 20};
if (getElementById("species").value=4) {var species1 = 20};
if (getElementById("species").value=5) {var species1 = 10};
if (getElementById("species").value=6) {var species1 = 20};
if (getElementById("species").value=7) {var species1 = 40};
if (getElementById("species").value= {var species1 = 20};
if (getElementById("species").value=9) {var species1 = 40};
if (getElementById("species").value=10) {var species1 = 10};
if (getElementById("species").value=11) {var species1 = 50};
if (getElementById("species").value=12) {var species1 = 20};
if (getElementById("species").value=13) {var species1 = 50};
if (getElementById("species").value=14) {var species1 = 50};
if (getElementById("species").value=15) {var species1 = 100};
if (getElementById("species").value=16) {var species1 = 50};
if (getElementById("species").value=17) {var species1 = 100};
if (getElementById("species").value=18) {var species1 = 100};
if (getElementById("species").value=19) {var species1 = 100};
if (getElementById("species").value=20) {var species1 = 200};
var quantity1 = document.getElementById("quantity").value;
var total_points = (species1 * quantity1);
document.getElementById("points").value = total_points;
}
</script>

We, first make sure you use parseInt for the value so JavaScript covert it from a string into a integer.

 

Here is an example using switch (but you can use if as well)

<html>
<head>
<title>Kayak Wars Submission Form</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function calc_points(){
var val = parseInt(document.getElementById("species").value);
var species1 = 0;
switch (val) {
	case 0:
		species1 = 0;
		break;
	case 1:
	case 2:
	case 5:
	case 10:
		species1 = 10;
		break;
	case 3:
	case 4:
	case 6:
	case 8:
	case 12:
		species1 = 20;
		break;
	case 7:
	case 9:
		species1 = 40;
		break;
	case 11:
	case 13:
	case 14:
	case 16:
		species1 = 50;
		break;
	case 15:
	case 17:
	case 18:
	case 19:
		species1 = 100;
		break;
	case 20:
		species1 = 200;
		break;
	default:
		species1 = 0;
}

var total_points = (species1 * parseInt(document.getElementById('quantity').value));

document.getElementById("points").value = total_points;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="POST" action="">
    <input type="hidden" name="submit_id" value="NULL">
        <select name="species" id="species">

        <option value="4">Shark</option>
        <option value="5">Black Drum</option>
