Using Javascript in Fabrik as part of Joomla

[awharton]

I have a table which users add data into 4 fields then 5th field needs to add all these up as a sum i have done it one way but it adds them as follows

1+12=112

$('table_name__ _total').value = $('table_name__ _rd1').getValue () + $('table_name__ _rd2').getValue () + $('table_name__ _rd3').getValue () + $('table_name__ _rd4').getValue ();
