--> Finance Intern with Problem!

[FinanceGuy]

If anyone could help with this today, I would greatly appreciate it .

Here is my attempt:

function Calculate()
{
theForm = document.forms["calculator"];
with(Math)
{
P = theForm.contract.value;
I = theForm.rate.value;
n = theForm.term.value;
t = theForm.type.value;
if t = 1;
v = (P * I/1200)/(1 - pow(1+I/1200,-n));
// two decimal places
theForm.payment.value = round(100 * v)/100;
else if t=2;
P2 = P * (1+pow(I/12),3);
v = (P2 * I/1200)/(1-pow(1+I/1200,-n));
// two decimal places
theForm.payment.value = round(100 * v)/100;
else if t = 3;
P3 = P * (1+pow(I/12),6);
v = (P3 * I/1200)/(1-pow(1+I/1200,-n));
// two decimal places
theForm.payment.value = round(100 * v)/100;
else if t = 4;
P3 = P * (1+pow(I/12),12);
v = (P3 * I/1200)/(1-pow(1+I/1200,-n));
// two decimal places
theForm.payment.value = round(100 * v)/100;

}
return false;
}
</script>

Yeah, it doesn't work. :) I know it works without the conditional
statements, so the problem lies with the conditional statements. How close am
I?

The format for the if statement in javascript is:

if (condition) {
statement block
}
elseif (condition) {
statement block
}

So ,maybe this is what you meant:
if (t = 1) {
v = (P * I/1200)/(1 - pow(1+I/1200,-n));
// two decimal places
document.theForm.payment.value = round(100 * v)/100;}

etcetera

Thanks for the javascript tip.

I put that into my code, and it didn't work.
