Maybe you will have to show us the actual page.

Anyway, this is bogus:

Code:

document.getElementById("grandTotal").innerHTML = 
      document.getElementById("grandTotal").innerHTML + churchTotal;

That will *NOT* add the NUMBERS. It will append the strings.

Maybe you could use

Code:

document.getElementById("grandTotal").innerHTML = 
   Number(document.getElementById("grandTotal").innerHTML) + churchTotal;

BUt I'm just having a hard time following the logic of the code.

I don't see why you need the isNaN() checks in there. When will the values being checked ever NOT be numbers??
