if statement calculation being shown in the wrong place

I am a beginner and I have an if statement that is returning the input value in the text box that I want the calculation to be in, and returning the calculation in the text box where I originally input the information.

diagram of problem

$w.onReady(function () {
  $w("#generatequote").onClick((event) => {
    var SR = Number($w("#SR").value);
    if (SR<100) {
      $w("#SR").value = SR*2
    //if the input number is less than 100 display the input number times two
    }
    $w("#quotetext").value =(SR)
    });

This is a different way I tried but then it displays the input value without making the calculation

    var SR = Number($w("#SR").value);
    if (SR<100) {
        $w("#SR").value = ("#SR")*2

This is another way I tried but it also doesn't make the calculation

    var SR = Number($w("#SR").value);
    if (SR<100) {
        $w("#SR").value *2
    }
Solution

  • Just a guess, the only problem with your first code seems to be that you mixed up the two text-boxes.

    "#SR" is the input box, and you are giving it a value of SR*2.

    $w("#SR").value = SR*2

    While "#quotetext" is where you want to display the result, but you are giving it a value of SR.

    $w("#quotetext").value =(SR)

    So, try flipping it around?

    $w.onReady(function () {
  $w("#generatequote").onClick((event) => {
    var SR = Number($w("#SR").value);
    if (SR<100) {
      $w("#quotetext").value = SR*2
    //if the input number is less than 100 display the input number times two
    }
    $w("#SR").value =(SR)
    });
