error on value

[ddtpmyra]

I have input box and has a id with value of the following
x=12
y=12

and when it display the sum of two it shows '1212' . Looks like I did was to add the string not the value. How do you do proper mathematical calculation

alert((document.getElementById('x').value)+
(document.getElementById('y').value));

just make use of the parseInt() or parseFloat() methods for the values ...

kind regards
