I've not yet purchased this component, but if it does what I want, I see myself purchasing multiple licenses, probably 4 or 5.

What I'd like to have is a form where I can have a dropdown (or radio buttons) asking if they would like to pay by check or credit card. If they select check, nothing else happens, they just fill out the form. If they choose credit card, only then does it display the other fields for name on card, card type, card number, CCV, etc.

That is the most vital.

The next thing I think would be a little trickier, but not so vital to what we need, so this isn't a dealbreaker.

I'm setting up for a BBQ competition. Entry into the main competition is $175, but they can \"add on\" extra things like enter the additional side dish category for $40 or dessert for $40, but they can ONLY add on if they enter the main contest. So I am thinking something like checkboxes with a value for each one, and then at the end somehow it totals it all up? Like I said, this isn't a dealbreaker, but the first one I think would be pretty important to us.

You can do that with ajax scripting. There is an ability to add scripting but I couldn't help you with that, cause I've never tried it. Though, I don't think you really need to get that fancy.

There is nothing wrong with a form that has fields with check / ccard and then the information for credit card. Your users won't enter in credit card information if they select check anyway.

As for the BBQ contest (YUM). Just make the main entry mandatory and the second entries normal. That way, they won't even be able to submit the form without selecting the main entry.

Think simple as your users will want to get through with the form as quick as possible.

Thanks for the response. However, the part I was really asking about was calculating the total. The main entry is going to be $175, but the add-ons are various prices, like $20 to enter the sauce contest, $30 for electricity. We're looking for a way to somehow calculate a total based on what they select. I was somehow thinking about assigning a value to each add-on and then just displaying a calculation at the bottom of the form.

Ok, I've googled \"Adding up form field values\" and found a number of responses that you may want to check out. If you want to do it the way you're explaining. Just google for the Javascript code.

I would recommend that you use a shopping cart system for what you're trying to do though. I haven't used it yet, but I'd try virtuemart.

I think I found your solution right on these forums.

Let me know if this works for you.
