I have some pics. they all have a different value assigned to them. I want the photo that is chosen to show up on a new page and the value to be used later in a caculation. I have come up with this script(with some help), but it will not direct me to the new page.

<html>
<head>
<title>Chiller</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function calculate(bottle) {
var totalAmount=bottle*10;

}
// -->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form action="">
<a href="page2.html?pic=chr500ml.jpg&calc=.01"><input type="image" src="

chr500ml.jpg" onclick="calculate(0.01)"/></a>

<a href="page2.html?pic=db500ml.jpg&calc=.02"><input type="image" src="db

500ml.jpg" onclick="calculate(0.02)"/></a>

<a href="page2.html?pic=cw375ml.jpg&calc=.03"><input type="image" src="cw

375ml.jpg" onclick="calculate(0.03)"/></a>

</form>

</body>
</html>


Thanks for your help

JavaScript doesn't remember variables from one page to another. You'd have to save the value to a cookie or pass it in the querystring. Why don't you wait and do the calculation on the next page instead?

If the new page only display a picture of the item, why not just have a pop up window shw the picture while keeping the main page with all the calculating open?

<html>
<head>
<title>Chiller</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var totalAmount = 0
function calculate(bottle,picture) {
  totalAmount =+ bottle*10;
  window,open(picture,'mypictures','width=200,height=300')
document.myform.mytotal.value = totalAmount;
return false;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name = "myform" action="">
<a href="page.html><image src="
chr500ml.jpg" border = 0 onclick="return calculate(0.01,'chr500ml.jpg')"/></a><BR>
<a href="page.html><image src="
db500ml.jpg" border = 0 onclick="return calculate(0.02,'db500ml.jpg')"/></a><BR>
<a href="page.html><image src="
cw375ml.jpg" border = 0 onclick="return calculate(0.03,'cw375ml.jpg')"/></a><BR>
Total: <input type="text" name="mytotal">
</form>
</body>
</html>
