You should use parseInt function. In facts, values get tanks to getElementById("sale").value are string and not numbers. You have to cast them into real integers to make the sum (otherwise it will make the concatenation of the two strings)

var sale=parseInt(document.getElementById("sale").value);  // enter 2
var sale2=parseInt(document.getElementById("sale2").value); // enter 3

document.getElementById('calsale').value = ((sale2)+(sale));
