How can I write a function that will calculate to total price of the computer components selected by the user, this is what I have so far but now I seem to be stuck. Any ideas? I am trying to create an array for the memory prices, hdd prices and network prices. Then dont know where to go from here.
<script type = "text/javascript">
function calculatePrice(myform)
{
var memPrice=myForm.memoryItem.selectedIndex;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table width="80%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="75" colspan="2"><img src="CCLogo.jpg" width="515" height="79"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="29%" height="103"><img src="computer.jpg" width="120" height="83"></td>
<td width="71%"><p class="c">The base price of this Computer is $499.<br />Because this is back-to-school special<br /> the manufacturer offers limited options.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="56" colspan="2" class="d">Intel i5 Pentium, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HD, DVD/CDROM Drive, 2GB 3D AGP<br /> graphics adapter, 15 inch monitor, 32-bit Wave sound card and speakers</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Optional Upgrades</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="50">
<FORM Name="myform">
<SELECT NAME="memoryItem" onChange="calculatePrice(myform)">
