Hi Brook,
this is what I'm using but getting "expecting )" error... please help =)
function validate()
{
var sumValue =
eval(document.newBillingInfo.SCEPbilledAmount.value.valueOf()) +
eval(document newBillingInfo.SCEPpenaltyAmount.value.valueOf()) +
eval(document newBillingInfo.SCEPdelinquentAmount.value.valueOf())
var total = eval("document.newBillingInfo.SCEPtotalAmount.value")
if (sumValue != total)
{
alert(sumValue)
document.newBillingInfo.SCEPbilledAmount.focus()
return false;
}
return true;
}

I had the same problem the other day. This works FOR SURE:
eval(document.newBillingInfo.SCEPbilledAmount.value.valueOf())+eval(document
newBillingInfo.SCEPpenaltyAmount.value.valueOf())
Using the valueOf() function converts a string to a number.
