I feel completely lost and hope somebody could help me out on this.

What I'm trying to do is to make the user of a form select some values
from a number of drop-down lists. The sum of all the values is supposted
to be added and presented in a textfield that cannot be edited manually.
Each time the user choose a value from one of the lists the sum is
recalculated and presented in the text-field.

I have gotten my JavaScript to work fine in Internet Explorer, but not
in Netscape (ver.4.7). I have attacted my code below.

For some reason the result of eval(document.theForm.q2n.value) is always
"null". I have also tried to include eval(myForm.q2n.value) to see if
this gives any other result - with no lucky.

Does anyone know how this problem can be solved?

TIA

Tor-Arne
