Newbee 2 javascript... plz help!!!

[Abi89]

I hav already got a working code which dynamically adds rows and deletes the rows from a table using javascript

i have understood the adding rows function somewhat as i have just started with javascript , the deleting part contains for loop as well as exception which is little difficult for me to understand .

The most important thing for me now is to calculate the total of 2 columns of individual rows based on the value that is entered by the user as well as the total the calculated rows and i dont know how to do begin this ...

will be greatful if anybody out there could help me as well as explain how it works ... plzzz ... code is as follows ,

 
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
        function addRow(tableID) {
 
            var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
  			var rowCount = table.rows.length  ;
            var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
            
 
            var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
            var element1 = document.createElement("input");
            element1.type = "checkbox";
            cell1.appendChild(element1);
 
            var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
            cell2.innerHTML = rowCount -1  + 1;
 
            var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
            var element2 = document.createElement("input");
            element2.type = "text";
            element2.id="desc";
            cell3.appendChild(element2);
           
            var cell4 = row.insertCell(3);
            var element3 = document.createElement("input");
            element3.type = "text";
            element3.id="qty";
            cell4.appendChild(element3);
           
           
            var cell5 = row.insertCell(4);
            var element4 = document.createElement("input");
            element4.type = "text";
            element4.id="price";
            cell5.appendChild(element4);
           
           
            var cell6 = row.insertCell(5);
            var element5 = document.createElement("input");
            element5.type = "text";
            element5.id="subtotal";
            cell6.appendChild(element5);
     }      
           
           
       function deleteRow() {
                try {
                var table = document.getElementById('dataTable');
                var rowCount = table.rows.length;
    
                for(var i=1; i<rowCount; i++) {
                    var row = table.rows[i];
                    var chkbox = table.rows[i].cells[0].childNodes[0];
                    var soz = table.rows[i].cells[1];
                    if(null != chkbox && true == chkbox.checked) {
                        //if(    
                        table.deleteRow(i);
                        rowCount--;
                        i--;
    					continue;
                    }
    
                    table.rows[i].cells[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue=i;
    			}
                }catch(e) {
                    alert(e);
                }
            }
        </SCRIPT>
