"Selling" $0 tickets in order to track registrants for a free event - js/jquery help please!!!

Tanna, 


Do you have a link to the form that you are working on? Here is a basic ticketed event with a free ticket option (wrapper removed) and we are able to go through and purchase a $0 ticket.

Another question for the js/jquery savvy folks out there!  


I want to use a ticketed calender event form to manage complimentary tickets, but there is a bit of BB/Convio js built in which throws an error if the cost of the sale is null.  The reason I want to still use the ticket form rather than an RSVP form or survey form is because I want the transactions to come down to our CRM master database as registrations to make it easier for our staff to track and manage them - that is the way they are used to handling all other events.  I have js managing the number of tickets and hiding irrelevant data to make it easy for the user, and the form behaves perfectly if only there weren't this super annoying cost-must-be-over-$0 safeguard built in! Crazy not to allow complimentary registrations.


Sooo... does anyone js/jquery savvy have a workaround for this bit of script below? Is there a way to write a function to disable this function, a way to overwrite this function, or any other creative solution?  I've tried a few things but I have only monkey-see-monkey-do knowledge of js/jquery so this is hard for me to troubleshoot.  MUCH APPRECIATED!!

function calculate(_form) {

var done = false;

totalCost = 0.0;

totalQuantity = 0;

if (_form.tix_cost.length != null) {

for (var x = 0; done == false; x++) {

if (_form.tix_cost[x] != null) {

calc_class(_form.tix_quantity[x], _form.tix_cost[x], _form.tix_price[x]);

}

else {

done=true;

}

}

}

else if (_form.tix_cost != null) {

calc_class(_form.tix_quantity, _form.tix_cost, _form.tix_price);

}

_form.tix_total_cost.value = '$'+formatCurrency(totalCost);

_form.tix_total_quantity.value = totalQuantity;

if(_form.gift_value != null)

{

var s = _form.gift_value.value;

s = parseCurrency(s);

var gift = parseFloat(parseCurrency(s));

if(gift < 0)

{

alert(_form.gift_value.value + " is not a valid, positive amount.");

_form.gift_value.focus();

_form.gift_value.select();

}

else

{

totalCost += gift;

_form.total_amount.value = '$'+formatCurrency(totalCost);

}

}

}
