??? you are using calling of function for id ref. normally set span to

Price: R<span id="currentTotal">0</span>

in the calculating function

<script>    function alertTotal() {            var aSelect = document.getElementById('a');            var bSelect = document.getElementById('b');            var cSelect = document.getElementById('c');            var currentTotal = document.getElementById('currentTotal'); /* added by dsonesuk */            var aValue = aSelect.options[aSelect.selectedIndex].value;            var bValue = bSelect.options[bSelect.selectedIndex].value;            var cValue = cSelect.options[cSelect.selectedIndex].value;                        alert(parseInt(aValue) + parseInt(bValue) + parseInt(cValue));currentTotal.innerHTML=parseInt(aValue) + parseInt(bValue) + parseInt(cValue; /* added by dsonesuk */    }</script>

if you wish current total to update whenever a option is selected add onchange="alertTotal()" to each select element id a, b and c.

you have told that aSelect refers to element with id="a"you have told that bSelect refers to element with id="b"you have told that cSelect refers to element with id="c" but you have not told it what total refers to look at my example with /* added by dsonesuk*/
