Hi guys,
I am new here so please forgive me if my question will sound stupid.
I created simple JavaScript function on the page which perform straight forward calculation and filling out text field on the form.

 <script language=javascript>
function fillout() 
        {
            var lotnumb = document.getElementById('qtyin').value;
            document.getElementById('qtyhands').value = lotnumb;

        }

 function recalc() 
        {
            
                var win;
                var wout;

                win = document.getElementById('qtyhands').value
                wout = document.getElementById('qtyout').value;
                alert(win);
                alert(wout);
                lotnumb = win - wout;
                alert(lotnumb);
                document.getElementById('qtyhands').value = lotnumb;
            
     }
</script>

<form name=form1>
<tr>      
      <td>
        QTY received
      </td>
      <td>
        <input type=text name="qtyin" id="qtyin" size=50 onchange="fillout();"/>
      </td>      
    </tr>
    <tr>      
      <td>
        Qty sent to production
      </td>
      <td>
        <input type=text name="qtyout" id="qtyout" size="50"  onchange="JavaScript:recalc();" />
      </td>      
    </tr>
    <tr>      
      <td>
        Qty on hands
      </td>
      <td>
        <input type=text name="qtyhands" id="qtyhands" size="50" />
      </td>      
    </tr>

</form>

As you can see nothing fancy, basic JavaScript.
Alerts to see when and what get pass into JS...
It works great in FF and Opera but for some freak-en reason second part( calculation) does not fork in any of versions IE I have.
Any ideas why and how fix this?
Thanks.

I know semi-colons aren't required by Javascript but because you've used them everywhere else and are missing one here

win = document.getElementById('qtyhands').value

IE might be chocking?


That's the only thing I can see at a glance anyway...

Thanks for reply but that is not it.
I put semicolon on place -- still no juice...

IE doesn't like recalc as a function name (because it's used for a method for document object). Change the name and all will work.

Worked like a charm.
That is why I always say 2.5 heads better then 0.5...
Thanks.

AND use a type="text/javascript" attribute NOT a language attribute.
