I am trying to create a simple web page wich uses has to do math from option button
Like this:

Option 1 is 100
Option 2 is 200
Option 3 is 300
If option 1 and 3 are selected you get a total of 400 printed on the page etc...

Now how is this done ?
A sample script would be great.

All most what I had in mind but not.

I was thinking of a list of Numbers and a radio button with each number.

Like
100 ()
200 ()
300 ()


If you would click 100+300 you would get 400 :) of course

Any one know how to do that ?

Radio buttons are (supposed to be) mutually exclusive...So you shouldn't be able to check more than one at a time.

You should practice taking scripts that are "almost" what you need and be able to make minor adjustments to suit your needs. The example I posted would only need a few small changes...onclick instead of onchange, checkboxes instead of the SELECT tag.
