    text
    copied!<p>I have a set of radio buttons that are for certain products. I am wanting to be able to have a total box at the bottom of the form which add's the total up of each radio buttons that is clicked. I know this can be done via the Value of the radio button and then using some javascript. </p> <p>The problem is i dont think i can use that method as i need the values to be how they are in the code below so when i get sent the email from the form submit i can see what options the user has choosen.</p> <p>Any suggestions without using javascript or using the values?</p> <pre><code>&lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1yr1" value="Paper" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;25&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1yr1" value="CD" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;25 excl VAT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1yr1" value="Paper &amp; CD" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;40 excl VAT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1yr2" value="Paper" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;25&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1yr2" value="CD" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;25 excl VAT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1yr2" value="Paper &amp; CD" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;40 excl VAT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1save" value="Paper" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;47.50&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1save" value="CD" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;47.50 excl VAT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input class="radio" type="radio" name="keystage1save" value="Paper &amp; CD" /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;#163;75 excl&lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to add something like <code>price="20"</code> etc for each radio button and then add these up?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> </p> <p>@Jamiec answer worked perfectly fine adding a extra "data-price" felid and totaling up using some javascript.</p> <p>Ok so after playing around with Jamiec code i realised that it add's up the total of radio buttons that have been checked but are no longer checked. As i also have some javascript which does the following:</p> <p>Only one radio button from <code>name="keystage1yr1"</code> can be selected Only one radio button from <code>name="keystage1yr2"</code> can be selected </p> <p>But if any radio button from <code>name="keystage1save"</code> is selected then any radio button from <code>name="keystage1yr1"</code> and <code>name="keystage1yr2"</code> that has been selected will be deselected.</p> <p>The problem is that with the javascript supplied by @Jamiec the total will still have the values of the <code>name="keystage1yr1"</code> and <code>name="keystage1yr2"</code> if <code>name="keystage1save"</code> is selected. I need it to just calculate the total from the radio buttons that are <strong>selected</strong></p> <p><strong>EDIT2</strong> @Jamiec updated answer to not store the values in cache fixed the problem</p>
