Two Forms One HTMarriage

Rich

Hello,

I've been trying to teach myself JavaScript via a book and a number of
JavaScript Tutorials Online. I have more understanding of what I am doing,
although definetly not has much as what I have read on this newsgroup.

I'm trying to learn a new skill in order to hopefully get a job. My job went
to india while I was out on medical leave (carpal tunnel.)

My question, I have two JavaScript / Htm pages identical to the one below.
I'm trying to figure out how I could put both of these "identical"
javascript pages into One HTM page. But I am clueless as to what to look
for and or how to proceed. I'm thinking that I need to somehow add a
checkbox_checker() and a checkbox_checker(2) or something like this.

I've looked at the "For Dummies" book on JavaScript, and my Beginning
JavaScript Book as well as Google'd. Funny thing is though you have to have
enough "knowledge" of JavaScript to know what to look for.

Please help,
Thank

this is just one of two.------

The problem with your code is, that you resubmit the page,
indeed necessary when using document.write(),
but try to count the checkboxes without recuperating
the submitted form values.

Also there are some code inconsistencies, and spelling errors.
The script should be in the <head> section.

The below code does not really "submit" at all and so is quicker:

============================================================

<html>
<head>
<title>Online Class Advisor</title>
<script type="text/JavaScript">

function doit(){

var ccount = 0;
var cbf = document.getElementById('cbf');
var answer = document.getElementById('answer');
var count = document.getElementById('count');

for (var c = 0; c < cbf.checkbox.length; c++)
if (cbf.checkbox[c].checked)
ccount++;

if (ccount>3) answer.innerHTML = tmorethan3
else if (ccount<3) answer.innerHTML = tlessthan3
else answer.innerHTML = t3;

count.innerHTML = '('+ccount+')'

return false;
}

tmorethan3 =
'<h3>Based upon your selections the'+
'Online Advisor recommends the following</h3><br>'+
'<h4>RECOMMENDED CLASSES:</h4>'+
'1. 101 - Hearing the Lost Art.<br>'+
'2. 201 - Understanding your Dreams.<br>'+

'<a href="">here</a><br>';

tlessthan3 =
'<h3>In order to receive a recommendation,'+
'you must make at least 3 selections!</h3>';

t3 =
