Exactly -- you're adding *all the values* regardless of whether the
box is "successful", i.e. checked. :-)
Untested, but something like
var b1 = (document.form.base1.checked)? document.form1.base1.value: 0;
would probably do it.
Alternatively, add event handlers to the checkboxes so they keep a
running total as they're clicked and un-clicked. :-)
