Ok, first, I don't know why the submit button isn't working. I need the total_price from the readonly box to be my total for the sale, and it isn't working.

Second, I need a way to apply a 10% discount to the final price to help entice new buyers to my site.

Last, I need a way to know what components are selected by the buyer so I know what components to put in their system.



Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Um, this page (Where is it? A link is much more useful...) is full of nonsense:

What does <font size="1" face="Verdana"> *between* the head and body mean?

What are lines like <p><strong></strong> </p> supposed to do?

Why is the javascript enclosed in <strong> ?? *$(%^! Have you _any_ idea what "strong" is supposed to mean?

But anyway, your <form> does not include an action, and will never be submitted anywhere, so of course you will never know what buttons the user clicked.

You need to start again, at the beginning.

No, I don't have any idea what it means, which is probably why I'm having problems. I'm very new to Java, and this was my frist experiment with it.

What sort of action do I need to use?

Um no. "Java" is the name of one programming language; "Javascript" is the name of a *completely different* programming language. The name was chosen by marketing morons to be deliberately confusing.
Javascript is a "client-side" scripting language, which means you can run little bits of program on the user's browser (if they have it enabled), for instance to prove immediately feedback about selections. But javascript doesn't (in general) do anything to notify your server about what's going on.

Your form should submit to a *server* script to process the user input. Try reading the FAQs and stuff about "using forms"; then you probably want to ask the next question in the server-scripting forum below this one.

But it would also help to clean up some of the html nonsense, like all those <strong> tags. What are they supposed to do?

I guess I should apologize for not knowing any of this. Like I said, I'm very new to all of this, and this was my first try with it. I have been teaching myself all of this, and only started about a week ago.

I thought that the strong tags were required in order to keep the script running smoothly. If that's not true, I can remove them.

So you're saying I need a script running server-side for the form to submit to, and that there is no way to use a submit button to transfer to information selected directly to an email? If that's true, I will go and learn what it is I need to do.
