When I press enter I get isNaN, but the value is a number
I turn in my homework last Sunday.It was sent back to me for correction because the isNaN value was returned to the Total textbox.I thought that is what is was programmed to do. Instead, according to her, “The isNaN function will examine the variable and determine if the variable holds non-numeric data, then the next statement will change the content of the variable to set to zero,” which has me confused. Any suggestions Here is the code. *The “return;” statements were not a syntax error before I made changes. Here is the link to the uploaded file: ciswebs.smc.edu/cis54/tyson_schweidel/homework2.htm

You variables are not in scope when the
isNaN()function attempts to check them.
