Hi, I followed the instructions in your Demo #32 as closely as I could, and it sort of works, but not quite right. Something's missing, and I can't figure it out, after going in circles.
I created the coupon list, no problem Created the stored procedure no problem Created the event
In the instructions, 1st Step, 4th Bullet, it says, " - Create an HTML field and include several SPAN/DIV Tags. These will be used to display to the user the discount percentage and total.
That doesn't really help. I've used field Client Side Events to update an html so I understand how that part works.
I added a client side event on the Verify Coupon Code to refresh the display of the price + discount. The first time you click "Verify", nothing happens. The NEXT time you click it, it briefly displays the new price and discount, then reverts back to the old price with no discount. If I don't have the CSE, it doesn't update the display.
However, when I click "Register" to sign up, it does transfer the price over to PayPal, even though it doesn't display on the page (and only after I click "Verify" a second time. It seems as if when I click the "Verify Coupon Code", it's refreshing the page, which then reverts back to the original price.
I'm pulling my hair out to get this to work.
Test with TESTCOUPON which gives a $25 discount.
Thoughts?
Many thanks! Tom |

Hello Tom,
This error is on your page:
SyntaxError: missing catch or finally after try
https://maps.gstatic.com/cat_js/intl/en_us/mapfiles/460f/maps2/%7Bmain,mod_util,mod_act,mod_act_s,mod_actbr,mod_appiw,mod_mg,mod_mssvt,mod_pphover,mod_rst,mod_stars,mod_strr%7D.js
Line 829
Any JavaScript errors that are on the page can break any/all JavaScript calculations on the page.
I noticed that when clicking the button the Discount was applied to your HTML. What you need to do is call the same function when clicking the Validate Button under Module Configuration -> Advanced Coding Options -> Custom JavaScript File -> Initial JavaScript.
You need to make certain that the calculation is re-calculation when the page re-loads from the Question Event.
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Ryan |

YAY! That was it. I had different (older version) of JS code in the Module Configuration that was wrong. I also didn't have the "Submit" version either. Changed both to be what is behind the "Verify Coupon Code" and now it works.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Happy camper here. 
Is there a way to set an expiration date on a coupon so it expires on x date? If not, I'll just mark my calendar to remove it, so not a big deal.

OK, now I feel stupid. The "Register Now" button doesn't do anything. It was working before all this. Now it does nothing. Hmph.  I have the PayPal gateway properly configured, and when I was testing the form yesterday, it was passing the correct price across to PP (even though it didn't display properly). Thoughts?
Thank you. Tom |

Hi Tom,
Usually, when the register button doesn't work, it means there's a validation that's failing somewhere. First thing I would recommend that you go to Module Configuration and under Validation, enable client side and server side validation and also choose to display validation summary.
After you hit update, check your form again and see what errors show up. You might also check in Admin > Event Viewer for any errors logged there then paste it here.
Thanks!
Candace

Candace, Thank you for your help. It's clear that it's something to do with the JavaScript. I couldn't get it to report anything with your suggestions. If I click "Register Now" (the Submit button), nothing happens.
If I take out the Javascript, it works again (but doesn't display in the custom HTML field).
The JavaScript in the "Initial" and "Submit/Save" is two lines:
$(total) = 897 - $(discount); ClassTotal.innerHTML = ' Your registration fee totals: ' + formatCurrency($(total)) + ' after a discount of ' + formatCurrency($(discount)) + '. ';
I'm looking at it cross-eyed, because I don't see any problems with that code.
Any thoughts?
Urgh.
Thanks so much! Tom |

Trying again:
$(total) = 897 - $(discount);
ClassTotal.innerHTML = '<p><strong>Your registration fee totals: ' + formatCurrency($(total)) + '</strong> after a discount of ' + formatCurrency($(discount)) + '.</p>'; |

Hello Thomas,
What is ClassTotal? I believe you may be violating the DOM.
If "ClassTotal" is the ID of the field you're trying to inject this text into, then try the following:
document.getElementById('ClassTotal').innerHTML = 'Your Text Here';
If this does not fix your problem, then please debug your code line by line. To do so you should comment out each line of code except 1, test, and verify if the calculations still work with that line of code enabled. If it still works, move onto the next line of code, and so on, and eventually you'll narrow down 1 line of code that's causing the calculation to break.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Ryan
