Hello!  
Just a quick question:  
I have three dynamic text boxes with numbers in them and I want to get the total of these numbers. This is the code I’ve got:

var final\_total = 0;  
final\_total = total1\_complete+total2+total3;

total1\_complete being the first box and so on . . .

But this doesn’t give me the total is just adds the three numbers after each other! Where have I gone wrong ? ? ?  
Many thanks
