How to add two fields and display in text area?

[Ryan Bloom]

Hello again Marina,

I am looking to set an alert that is based off of a minimum value for the "TotalCost".

I want to have the alert happen once the calculation happens for the TotalCost. If the TotalCost is less than 7,000 I want to have an alert pop up saying The Total Is Too Small and then have a function zero out the ap and mp fields. I have tried the alert function:

var ap = Tiggzi('AP').val(),
totalcost = Tiggzi('TotalCost'),
mp = Tiggzi('MP').val();

var apNumber = parseFloat(ap),
totalprice = parseFloat(totalcost),
mpNumber = parseFloat(mp);

if (totalpriceNumber < 7000) {
totals= "TooSmall"
}

alert("The Total Is Too Small);

But it is not working....

I think
totalcost = Tiggzi('TotalCost');

should be
totalcost = Tiggzi('TotalCost').val();

Hi Max,

The field TotalCost is a label field so I have it set at .text which should work, It is still not alerting.

var ap = Tiggzi('AP').val(),
totalcost = Tiggzi('TotalCost').text(),
mp = Tiggzi('MP').val();

var apNumber = parseFloat(ap),
totalprice = parseFloat(totalcost),
mpNumber = parseFloat(mp);

if (totalpriceNumber < 7000) {
totals= "TooSmall"
}

alert("The Total Is Too Small);

Place an alert or console.log(..) after each statement to find out where it fails.

Would it be possible to accomplish this through the set property event through the tiggzi interface instead of using javascript?

[maxkatz]

No, you would need to write the JavaScript.

I have tried what I believe to be the right function but it is still not working, the code is:

var ap = Tiggzi('AP').val(),
totalcost = Tiggzi('TotalCost').text(),
mp = Tiggzi('MP').val();

var apNumber = parseFloat(ap),
totalprice = parseFloat(totalcost),
mpNumber = parseFloat(mp);

if (totalpriceNumber < 7000) {
totals= "TooSmall"
}

alert("The Total Is Too Small);

You are missing ; after these statements:

var apNumber = parseFloat(ap),
totalprice = parseFloat(totalcost),
...
totals= "TooSmall"

If still doesn't work, place a print statement after each line to find out what one fails.
