math problem

[philspeakman]

i used this
var height3 = eval(height2)+eval(inches);
height 2 was a number divided by 12 - that bit worked
as does the input for inches so i assume its an eval problem should i be using some thing else?

eval is deprecated code, this is the better, less-code way:

height3 = height2+inches;

if this doesn't work out, add some trace commands to check the values of height2 and inches?

eval is not deprecated.

Just realized that this is a crosspost. In any event, try using Number() around the variables that you are adding.
