Program returning values as NaN
Question
Im trying to get this program to work and i have everything running, but my values return as NaN. I've tried initializing the variables as numbers both in and outside the function to no avail. Any help?
EDIT: added in the entire script, html and all incase it helps alongside the edits suggested thus far.

You need to get the values from the elements bill , tip , peeps Probably something like document.getElementById("bill").value
Using just document.getElementById("bill") you are selecting the element, but not its value

You need to read the value inside calculate()
function calculate(){
bill = +bill.value, tip = +tip.value, peeps = +peeps.value;
totalTip = bill/ (tip * 0.01);
total = bill + totalTip;
tpPerson = total / peeps;
document.getElementById("tipAmount").innerHTML = "Tip Amount: " + totalTip;
document.getElementById("total").innerHTML = "Total: " + total;
document.getElementById("totalByPeep").innerHTML = "Total per Person: " + +tpPerson;
}
