Solution
Your html code is having design flaw. Even though you have written a java script, it is not invoked from the body.
Also since you are using html, its recommended to use <form> with four different <input> tags for homework, labs, midterm and exam. On clicking submit button you can invoke a javascript which will do your calculation and display output in anothe rinput field (which you will be using as output field).
