I'm working on an assignment in my beginner Javascript class that involves an element document.getElementById on the first line below the var total. There is an error of missing ; but the semicolon is there. So I know that it must be something else. Here is the code. Any suggestions?
<html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>
<head>
<title>Price Calculator</title>
<script type=text/javascript>
function fixOrder(){
const TAX = 0.975;
var numPrice = parseFloat(document.getElementById(cost).value);
var subtotal = numPrice * TAX;
var total = subtotal + tax;
document.getElementById(cost).value = $ cost.ToFixed(2);
document.getElementById(tax).value =$ tax.ToFixed(2);
document.getElementById(total).value =$ total.ToFixed(2);
}
function placeOrder(){
if (document.getElementById(cost) ==
isNaN(document.getElementById(cost)
alert(Sorry,you must enter a numeric value to place order)
if (document.getElementById(tax) ==
isNaN(document.getElementById(tax)
alert(Sorry, you must enter a numeric value to place the order);
}
</script>
