Shockingly this piece of javascript worked right away in IE, but broke in netscape. The last checkbox in the form didnt't think it was a number. Well...it didn't think it was a number for the longest time, then I changed the for loop to using a hard count of 9 instead of form.elemtents[i]. Whatever. Computers are dumb.

I'd like to have found a way to loop through the subtotals more elegantly-- meaning less typing, but wtf, it works.

Here is the javascript code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from old browser//
function addUp() {
	var form = document.form
	var perms = 0
	var oPerms = 0
	var gPerms = 0
	var aPerms = 0
	
	for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
		if (form.elements[i].checked)
		perms += parseInt(form.elements[i].value)
		}
	}
//////////////////////////////////

	if (form.oRead.checked){
		oPerms = 400
	}

	if (form.oWrite.checked){
		oPerms += 200
	}
	
	if (form.oExec.checked){
		oPerms += 100
	}
////////////////////////////////// RWX
	
	if (form.gRead.checked){
		gPerms = 40
	}

	if (form.gWrite.checked){
		gPerms += 20
	}
	
	if (form.gExec.checked){
		gPerms += 10
	}
//////////////////////////////////	OGA

	if (form.aRead.checked){
		aPerms = 4
	}

	if (form.aWrite.checked){
		aPerms += 2
	}
	
	if (form.aExec.checked){
		aPerms += 1
	}
	
	form.result.value = perms
	form.oResult.value = oPerms
	form.gResult.value = gPerms
	form.aResult.value = aPerms

}

</script>
