Order Form Coding

[trevorwilson]

I need advice about creating an order form (I was sent here from the General Web Building forum!) and I have been told that JavaScript is the way to go - can anybody help with the following (I know nothing about Javascript really).

I have an order form and plan to have the data emailed to me (I have FormMail script installed on my server). The form will have the following fields:

Reference Number
Size / Cost
Quantity
Grand Total

Clients will enter the ref no., choose a size/ cost (radio-button), and quantity (text box). I plan to accept details for about different items. I just want the total cost to be displayed in a box at the bottom before the form data is sent to me.

Can anybody point me in the right direction of how I might go about this? Tutorials / sample code etc.

Thanks very much!

thanks, your code is probably very useful in the right hands but I am afraid I don't understand it exactly. I think I will stick to my day job and get a programmer to do this for me!
