Hello all,

Im new to these forums and new to javascript. I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me with the script that i am using. I am making a website that people would be able to go to, to build a computer and to have a thing that automatically updates the price as they choose the items. Similar to Dell's setup on their site, but simpler, with drop-down menues.

Example:
http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DXPS600F4&s=dhs

Here is the site that i want the script to work on, im still working on it, but it should give you enough information to let me know what i need to do to make it work with drop down boxes.

If anyone could give me any help, that would be great. Thanks.:)

SWEET! It works, thank you so much!
But how could i make it so that when, for example the option with the "[Included in Price]" is initially selected and it initially has the total in the box?

Any help would be wonderful.

Thanks again
