Calling Javascript from onChange in IE8 doesnt work!??!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi all,

I am trying to call a JS function from an onChange parameter within a form tag, as shown below:

<input type=”text” id=”quantity1″ tabindex=”1″ maxlength=”3″ size=”5″ onchange=”recalculate(‘quantity1′,’price1′,’6’)”>

This works perfectly in FireFox but fails in IE8 with an object expected error and launches a debugger.

I have tired many variations including adding a “;” at the end, starting with “javascript:”, onchange/onChange etc and no luck. Always works in FF but not IE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<!--

function recalculate(a,b,c)

{

var price = b;

var quan = a;

var total = c;



document.getElementById(price).value = document.getElementById(quan).value * c;

document.getElementById("sumtotal").value = document.getElementById("price1").value *1 + document.getElementById("price2").value *1 + document.getElementById("price3").value *1;

var sumt = document.getElementById("price1").value *1 + document.getElementById("price2").value *1 + document.getElementById("price3").value *1;

if (sumt<15 && sumt>0){

document.getElementById("total").value = sumt * 1 + 2.50;

}

else if (sumt==0) {

document.getElementById("total").value = 0;

}

else {

document.getElementById("total").value = sumt;

}

}

-->

</script>

I know thw JS is by no means perfect but it works. I have changed to onBlur now.
