This is my first bash at javascript, and im one function away from finishing.

if(document.forms[1].cut[8].checked)  
thetotal = theprice \* 2;  
else  
thetotal = theprice;

The if else seems to work, i’m fairy sure it’s the thetotal = theprice \* 2; that doesnt work. Thanks in advance, you’re my last chance! The entire html is attatched if it makes a difference.
