I've just started to learn JavaScript and have run into a issue trying to get multiple checkboxes to work.
I am trying to calculate the cost of a product based on the options checked. However, my script is automatically assuming that all the boxes have been checked.
What is wrong with this code? Sorry if its a basic question but I have been banging my head for hours now.
function cal() {
var selectionOne = 0;
var selectionTwo = 0;
var selectionThree = 0;
var total = 0;
if (document.getElementById("1").checked = true ){
selectionOne = 25;
}
if (document.getElementById("2").checked = true ){
selectionTwo = 50;
}
if (document.getElementById("3").checked = true ){
selectionThree = 100;
}
total = selectionOne + selectionTwo + selectionThree;
alert ("Your total is £" + total);
}
