Sorry for that last post, wrong thread. :(
Anyway, you could try something like this:
<form>
<input id="lim" type="hidden" value="40"/>
<input id="input_1" type="text" class="counter"/>
<input id="input_2" type="text" class="counter"/>
<input id="input_3" type="text" class="counter"/>
<input id="input_4" type="text" class="counter"/>
<input id="input_5" type="text" class="counter"/>
<input id="input_6" type="text" class="counter"/>
</form>
$(function(){
$('form').submit(function(){
var num = 0, lim = $('#lim').val()*1;
$('input.counter').each(function(){
num += this.val()*1;
});
if (num > lim){
alert('You can't take more than ' + lim + ' bags, but you
have selected ' + num + ' bags!');
return false;
}
});
});
