I assume from all the comments that your "lovely piece of javascript" is loaded into a edit or add record page. From this point there are two ways to "pass that value from my javascript file (which is a code page in quickbase) to a field in my quotations table."

(1) Set Field Value Via Form Field

_fid_6.value = calculated_value;

(2) Set Field Value Via API
$(dbidTable, {

  rid: kRid,
  _fid_6: calculated_value
});
