how to access checkboxes and their values with getElementsByName

问题

Suppose I have the following section of a form:

<td>
 <p>
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="89.00" /><br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="29.00" /><br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="49.00" /><br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="39.00" />
 </p>
</td>

<td>
 <p>
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="69.00" /><br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="69.00" /><br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="69.00" /><br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="69.00" />
 </p>
</td>

Every time the user selects or deselects a checkbox, I need the script to recalculate the variable addon to the total of all values of the boxes which are checked. This is the code I came up with first, but it does not appear to work for me:

function iaddon() {
 addon=0;
 av=document.getElementsByName("faddon");
 for (e=0;e<av.length;e++) {
  if (av[e].checked==true) {
   addon+=av[e];
   }
  }
 }

The script keeps returning NaN as the value of addon. At first, I wondered if javascript was reading the values as strings and not integers, but adding a (x)*1 around av[e] did not fix this. Then, I read a little more into getElementsByName and read about it possibly not being a typical array, but instead a nodeList.

I'm new to Javascript and can't figure out after hours of googling how to manipulate this nodeList. Any help is appreciated. I'd like to keep the 8 checkboxes in seperate table cells, so using something like childNodes wouldn't exactly work here, as far as I can tell. I also would like to steer clear of any jQuery at this point...I'm still learning and I want to make sure I understand how to do it in plain old javascript first. Thanks!

You need to use the value property and also parse it to a number. e.g:

function iaddon()
{
    addon = 0;
    for (e = 0; e < av.length; e++)
    {
        if (av[e].checked == true)
        {
            addon += parseInt(av[e].value, 10);
        }
    }
}

回答2:

av[e] will return the element not the value of the element there for addon is not a number.

I believe you want to use av[e].value

also note that since you set addon=0 at the start of the function the value of addon will always only be the value of av[e].value during the function call.

function iaddon() {
 addon=0;
 av=document.getElementsByName("faddon");
 for (e=0;e<av.length;e++) {
  if (av[e].checked==true) {
   addon+=av[e].value;
   }
  }
 }

btw, obtrusive js

<input type="checkbox" name="faddon" onchange="iaddon()" value="89.00"/>

is very depressive to maintain your code, for both js and html code are written together.

Try to write unobtrusive js code like:

In html:

 <input id="index1" type="checkbox" name="faddon" value="89.00"/>

In js:

$('index1').click(function() {
  // Edit your function
});
