Submitted by razormist on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 23:30.

In this tutorial we will create a Auto Sum Value Base On Checkbox using JavaScript. This code will automatically calculate the sum of the checkboxes value when user checked it. The code use onclick() to call a function that will auto sum the value of the checkboxes. You can apply this script to your code to make your transaction faster, it is a user-friendly program feel free to modify it. We will use JavaScript to add some new feature to the website interface by actually written into an HTML page. It is what gives your page a different interactive elements and animation that engage a user.

<script src="js/script.js"></script>    
</body> 
</html>

var total=0;
function UpdateCost(elem) {
  
    if (elem.checked == true) { 
                total += Number(elem.value); 
        }else{
                total -=Number(elem.value);
        }
  
        document.getElementById('total').value = total.toFixed(0);
}

There you have it we successfully created a Auto Sum Value Base On Checkbox using JavaScript. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
