[javascript] Summing radio input values

I'm new to this so I have been trying to adapt code from others to suit my needs, I need a radio selection from the first name group to be added to the second name group and then displayed in the text box at the bottom.

Nothing appears in the bottom text box. Where am I going wrong?

Javascript:

$("input[type=radio]").click(function()  {     var total = 0;     $("input[type=radio]:checked").each(function()      {         total += parseFloat($(this).val());     });      $("#totalSum").val(total); }); 

HTML:

<strong>Choose a base package:</strong> <input id="item_0" type="radio" name="pkg" value="1942" />Base Package 1 - $1942 <input id="item_1" type="radio" name="pkg" value="2313" />Base Package 2 - $2313 <input id="item_2" type="radio" name="pkg" value="2829" />Base Package 3 - $2829 <strong>Choose an add on:</strong> <input id="item_10" type="radio" name="ext" value="0" />No add-on - +$0 <input id="item_12" type="radio" name="ext" value="2146" />Add-on 1 - (+$2146) <input id="item_13" type="radio" name="ext" value="2455" />Add-on 2 - (+$2455) <input id="item_14" type="radio" name="ext" value="2764" />Add-on 3 - (+$2764) <input id="item_15" type="radio" name="ext" value="3073" />Add-on 4 - (+$3073) <input id="item_16" type="radio" name="ext" value="3382" />Add-on 5 - (+$3382) <input id="item_17" type="radio" name="ext" value="3691" />Add-on 6 - (+$3691) <strong>Your total is:</strong> <input id="totalSum" type="text" name="totalSum" readonly="readonly" size="5" value="" /> 

This question is related to javascript

The answer is


Your javascript is executed before the HTML is generated, so it doesn't "see" the ungenerated INPUT elements. For jQuery, you would either stick the Javascript at the end of the HTML or wrap it like this:

<script type="text/javascript">   $(function() { //jQuery trick to say after all the HTML is parsed.     $("input[type=radio]").click(function() {       var total = 0;       $("input[type=radio]:checked").each(function() {         total += parseFloat($(this).val());       });        $("#totalSum").val(total);     });   }); </script> 

EDIT: This code works for me

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> </head> <body>   <strong>Choose a base package:</strong>   <input id="item_0" type="radio" name="pkg" value="1942" />Base Package 1 - $1942   <input id="item_1" type="radio" name="pkg" value="2313" />Base Package 2 - $2313   <input id="item_2" type="radio" name="pkg" value="2829" />Base Package 3 - $2829   <strong>Choose an add on:</strong>   <input id="item_10" type="radio" name="ext" value="0" />No add-on - +$0   <input id="item_12" type="radio" name="ext" value="2146" />Add-on 1 - (+$2146)   <input id="item_13" type="radio" name="ext" value="2455" />Add-on 2 - (+$2455)   <input id="item_14" type="radio" name="ext" value="2764" />Add-on 3 - (+$2764)   <input id="item_15" type="radio" name="ext" value="3073" />Add-on 4 - (+$3073)   <input id="item_16" type="radio" name="ext" value="3382" />Add-on 5 - (+$3382)   <input id="item_17" type="radio" name="ext" value="3691" />Add-on 6 - (+$3691)   <strong>Your total is:</strong>   <input id="totalSum" type="text" name="totalSum" readonly="readonly" size="5" value="" />   <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>   <script type="text/javascript">       $("input[type=radio]").click(function() {         var total = 0;         $("input[type=radio]:checked").each(function() {           total += parseFloat($(this).val());         });          $("#totalSum").val(total);       });     </script> </body> </html>
