i dont think its problem with syntax, i think its the order of the code. but this is the last program i have to do ever for college and i cant figure it out. last day is tommorow and i can't figure out what im doing wrong. i just need to be able to enter the information and have the 3 calculations execute and move the information to the right column. the mathematical calculations are to figure out the tax. but if anyone sees anything wrong could you please tell me what, thanks a lot.
i do the form code first, than call a function on the submit button, but the information won't transfer..

Here's some ideas:

1. <form name="carForm"> - its always a good idea to put quotations around the name of any element.

2. <input type="text" name="TypeIn"> and then you use 'var typeIn' - javascript is case sensitive.

3. 'ownerOut=Document.carForm.ownerIn.value.' - i'm not sure what the period after value is supposed to do but you should use a semi-colon (;) there to let javascript know its the end of a line.

4. Debug your stuff using FireFox browser and the JavaScript console included. It will usually give you a good idea of whats wrong.

I never tested the code, but those are some decent ideas to get you started.

oh yeah that winking smilie face was definetly just supposed to be a semi-colon ';'.
