When I tried this, it worked just fine. However, you may want to add a space after 'Total price:'

thank you so much edryana what does += means btw?

it appends your string.

Or how about this:

#menuWrapper h1 {
	margin:0;
	color:#fff;
	background-color: #006699;
}
#menuWrapper h1, #menuWrapper .c1 { text-align: center; }
#menuWrapper p { margin: 6px 0; }
#menuWrapper form {

}
</style>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function tester() {
	var total = 0;
	var divider = "-----------------------";
    var bill = [
		"WELCOME TO SHARKBITES",
		divider,
		"You ordered :"
	];
    for(var i=0; i<document.menu.elements.length-1; i++) {
		var el = document.menu.elements[i];
		if(el.checked) {
			bill.push("* " + el.value);
		    total += Number(el.getAttribute('price'));
	    }
	}
	if(bill.length === 3) { bill.push("Sweet nothing muchacho!"); }
	bill.push(divider);
	bill.push("Total Price : " + total);
	bill.push(divider);
	alert(bill.join("\n"));
	return false;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="menuWrapper">
    <h1>SHARKBITES</h1>
    <form method="get" onsubmit="return tester()" name="menu">
        <p><input type="checkbox" id="ch0" name="ch0" value="Caramel Mochiato" price="110"><label for="ch0">Caramel Mochiato P110</label></p>
        <p><input type="checkbox" id="ch1" name="ch1" value="Caffe Latte" price="95"><label for="ch1">Caffe Latte P95</label></p>

        <p><input type="checkbox" id="ch4" name="ch4" value="Caffe Mocha" price="85"><label for="ch4">Cappuccino P85</label></p>
        <p class="c1"><input type="submit" value="ORDER"></p>
    </form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Notes:

  • Loop avoids the need for repetative code.
  • The prices are stored as custom HTML attributes.
  • We build the bill in an array, then finally join the pieces together. This is much more efficient than string += string.
  • A little CSS smartens it up.
