Thanks Eric,

Inserted it into my HTML file; doesn't seem to work.

Do I need COST1, COST2, COST3, COST4 & COST5 instead of just COST?

Or, did I not insert the jQ code correctly?

Looks like you changed the name of your GrandTotal input to TOTAL. Give this a try.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
var jQ = $.noConflict(true);
// version 2
function calctotal(){
var total = 0;
jQ("input[name^='COST']").each(function(){
var value = jQ(this).val();
if(value >0 && jQ.isNumeric(value)){
total+=parseFloat(jQ(this).val(),10);
}
});
jQ("input[name=TOTAL]").val(total.toFixed(2))
}
jQ().ready(function(){
jQ("input[name^='COST']").change(function(){
calctotal()
});
});
</script>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric,

Sorry about changing var name.
I know better, just had a temporary outbreak of the stupids.

Mornin' Eric,

Now realize I should've asked for the five COST items values be input by jG script.

If it isn't too much trouble your help will be appreciated.

A few questions. Your using checkboxes. Is it possible that the user could check all 9 options?

Yes. But, highly unlikely.

Is each line meant to set the requirements of one user? If so then you would be better off using radio buttons. It makes a huge difference in the coding structure.

Had considered that to begin with and decided needed checkboxes.
Will look at it again.

Eric,

How can I have Radio Button Element that allows none to be selected?

Did that but, when open the form cannot have a group without one item being selected. Just like a typical radio button group.
