Form Calculations and Special Discounts

A discount may be in many formats, but a percentage of the sales price above a certain figure is the most common. We'll create a stand-alone function that will calculate the discount, a "generic" function that can be used again and again. The function will contain 3 arguments, val, threshold and rate, and it will return the variable discount. We'll express the rate argument as a percentage.
For example: calculateDiscount(this.form.sub.value,150,"5%") Try it!

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function calculateDiscount(val,threshold,rate){
var discount=(val>threshold)? (val-threshold)*parseFloat(rate)/100:0;
return discount;
}
// -->
</script>

The above concept is developed further to create this form:

Enter # of widgets @$29.90 each

Price (Remember this value is not used in the calculation. The Price is stored in a hidden field.)

Subtotal(widgets x price)

5% discount on orders over $150.00

Total (Subtotal - discount)

The final code for the form above would look like this:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function calculateDiscount(val,threshold,rate){
var discount=(val>threshold)? (val-threshold)*parseFloat(rate)/100:0;
return discount;
} function calculate(){
with(document.maths){
if(widgets.value<=0){
alert("Positive numbers only, please"); return;
}
if (widgets.value % 1!=0){
if(window.confirm("Round up to "+Math.ceil(widgets.value)+"?")) {
widgets.value=Math.ceil(widgets.value);
}
else{
return;
}
}
var Sub=widgets.value*hiddenField.value;
var Disc=calculateDiscount(Sub,150,5);
discount.value= Disc? to_currency(Disc,"$"):0;
subtotal.value =to_currency(Sub,"$");
total.value= to_currency(Sub-Disc,"$");
}
}
// -->
</script>

Then add the following code to the body of your document:

<form name="maths">
<p><input type="text" name="widgets" size="8">Enter # of widgets @$29.90 each </p>
<p><input type="text" name="price" value="$29.90" size="8">Price</p>
<p><input type="text" name="subtotal" size="8">Subtotal(widgets x price)</p>
<p><input type="text" name="discount" size="8">5% discount on orders over $150.00</p>
<p><input type="text" name="total" value="Total" size="10">Total(Subtotal - discount)</p>
<p><input type="button" name="Button" value="Calculate" onClick="calculate()">
</form
