SUM TEXTFIELD VALUES

[Filiz Duman]

Hi,
was just wondering how I can sum values from different textboxes,..
I used "+" but this adds the values together rather then creating a sum of
them.

e.g.

var x = document.clear.field1.value; (e.g. 10)
var y = document.clear.field2.value; (e.g. 11)

var sum = x + y (that comes up with 1011) rather then 21.
How can I add them together so the result is 21 ?
Any ideas.
Thanks
