Using function in Javascript

Example:

function pcs()
{
    var t1 = document.getElementById("tot1").value
    var pb = document.getElementById("pcbox").value
    var pc = ""

    if (t1==! && pb==!)
    {
        document.getElementId("rbox").innerHTML = ""
    }
}

My question is if t1 and pb are null the function pcs() is not called... Why?

The line

if(t1==! && pb==!)

is not legal syntax. If this is exactly how you have written the code it will not parse and thus the function will not be defined (plus you'll be getting Javascript errors).

Perhaps you meant

if(t1 != null && pb != null)

Additionally, while semicolons at the end of lines can be inferred by the interpreter, they are meant to be there (as opposed to being actually optional) and adding them is good practice.

EDIT and while I didn't understand your final question 100%, remember that the code you've written (assuming the syntax were correct) merely defines a function. You will need to have some other code call this function at an appropriate point in order to have it executed, e.g. for some element onblur = pcs();

The line if(t1==! && pb==!) is nonsense - did you mean if (!t1 && !pb)?

if(t1==! && pb==!) --> this is absolutly wrong.... What are you trying to check?

Maybe if(t1!="" && pb!="")?
