The normal html file works & calculates the values under the income section of the form outside of joomla, however when i put this info into the chronoforms form code it does not work:

attached the origional html form that works:

The url to view is: http://www.wheels2deal.co.za/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=Credit-Application&Itemid=55

Please advise, thanks Deon.

Hi Deon,

There are a couple of related problems here, you've left the old form tags in your code.

<form name="ChronoContact_Credit-Application" id="ChronoContact_Credit-Application" method="post" action="http://www.wheels2deal.co.za/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=Credit-Application" >
</head>
<body>
<form name="order">

as you can see here, ChronoForms adds its own <form . . .> and </form>tags and having the two sets will stop your form working correctly.

The second problem is that ChronoForms changes the form name - here to name="ChronoContact_Credit-Application" but your JavaScript depends on the old form name of 'order'.

You could try cleaning up your form html to remove the <head> <body> and <form> tags at top and bottom and then wrapping the whole of your form html in <div name='order'> . . .form html here . . .</div>

I don't know if this will work but I think it should. If not, your JavaScript will need some changes.
