I designed an invoice system that add rows automatically and computes the results, print it in another file that can be downloaded by other users.can i get help on how to multiply the price and quantity to get amount?

this is my code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function showamt() {

//var unitprice = document.form1.unitprice[].value;
//var qty = document.form1.qty[].value;
//amount = unitprice*qty;
//document.form1.amount[].value = amount;

var a= document.getElementById('unitprice[this]');
var b= document.getElementById('qty[this]');
var c = Math.ceil(a.value*b.value);
alert(b);
document.getElementById('amount[this]').value =c;
}

</script>
    <SCRIPT language="javascript">
        function addRow(tableID) {

            var table = document.getElementById(tableID);

            var rowCount = table.rows.length;
            var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);

            var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;

            for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {

                var newcell = row.insertCell(i);

                newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
                //alert(newcell.childNodes);
                switch(newcell.childNodes[0].type) {
                    case "text":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].value = "";
                            break;
                    case "checkbox":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].checked = false;
                            break;
                    case "select-one":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].selectedIndex = 0;
                            break;
                }

                switch(newcell.childNodes[0].name) {
                    case "s_no[]":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].value = rowCount + 1; 
                            break;
                }
            }
        }

        function deleteRow(tableID) {
              var tbl = document.getElementById(tableID);
              var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
              if (lastRow > 2) tbl.deleteRow(lastRow - 1);

        }

Thanks for the answer. this is the code i need changes on. Thanks for anticipated reply

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function showamt() {

//var unitprice = document.form1.unitprice[].value;
//var qty = document.form1.qty[].value;
//amount = unitprice*qty;
//document.form1.amount[].value = amount;

var a= document.getElementById('unitprice[this]');
var b= document.getElementById('qty[this]');
var c = Math.ceil(a.value*b.value);
alert(b);
document.getElementById('amount[this]').value =c;
}

</script>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function addRow(tableID) {

var table = document.getElementById(tableID);

var rowCount = table.rows.length;
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);

var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;

for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {

var newcell = row.insertCell(i);

newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells.innerHTML;
//alert(newcell.childNodes);
switch(newcell.childNodes[0].type) {
case "text":
newcell.childNodes[0].value = "";
break;
case "checkbox":
newcell.childNodes[0].checked = false;
break;
case "select-one":
newcell.childNodes[0].selectedIndex = 0;
break;
}

switch(newcell.childNodes[0].name) {
case "s_no[]":
newcell.childNodes[0].value = rowCount + 1;
break;
}
}
}

function deleteRow(tableID) {
var tbl = document.getElementById(tableID);
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
if (lastRow > 2) tbl.deleteRow(lastRow - 1);

}

</SCRIPT>

First off, you have no 'ids' on you page.
var a= document.getElementById('unitprice[this]');
var b= document.getElementById('qty[this]');

you need to add id elements to your input tags or switch the 'ElementById' call to be getElementByTagName('name') like:
<input name='unitprice' id='unitprice' value=''>
also, I find it very strange that everything is named with []?
Like they should all be arrays, this shouldn't apply in most cases.
<td width="144"><input name="qty[]" type="text" size="10"/></td>
<td width="144"><input name="unitprice[]" type="text" onmouseout="javascript:showamt();" size="10"/></td>
<td width="153"><input name="amount[]" type="text" onclick="showContent()" size="15"/></td>
these are some of the lines that would need an 'id=' added to them.
The actual code you have should work, you just aren't getting the elements because of the lack of ids.

I did that yet it still doesnt work.

some of it does, at least the part you asked for:
lines 379 - 381 need to add id= to each line.

<td width="144"><input id="qty[]" name="qty[]" type="text" size="10"/></td>
<td width="144"><input id="unitprice[]" name="unitprice[]" type="text" onmouseout="javascript:showamt();" size="10"/></td>
<td width="153"><input id="amount[]" name="amount[]" type="text" onclick="showContent()" size="15"/></td>

also, your showamt code is wrong:

function showamt() {
	var a= document.getElementById('unitprice[]');
	var b= document.getElementById('qty[]');
	var c = Math.ceil(a.value*b.value);
	alert(b);
	document.getElementById('amount[]').value =c;
}

get rid of all of the [this] that you have in the js call.
I added the id= , and removed the 'this' from your showamt call.
It worked fine for me.

Thanks a lot, it seems to work for a line but i need it to work for different rows in my table. How can i get it done. i really appreciate your help so far

can i send the full page code to you. it has the first post i made. it also contains the code that generates the table and rows.Thanks for your help.

sure I can look at it.

I have also worked this type of project . Very simple logic I have used. May be it will help you Brother.......

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function lastPrice(qID,sID,upID,tpID){
	
var quantity = document.getElementById(qID).value;
var stich = document.getElementById(sID).value;	
var unitPrice = document.getElementById(upID).value;


		var totalPrice=quantity*unitPrice;
		document.getElementById(tpID).value=Math.round(totalPrice);
		return true;
	

}
</script>
