Subject: Javascript Calculator - Help!
Posted By: dedbob Post Date: 11/16/2003 6:24:50 PM
If this has been posted before, I apologize.  I have a javascript calculator on my pages.  What I want to do, is have the price automatically appear in the price field, but it won't calculate because there is a "$" and a "," in the field.

Is there ANY possible way to remove the "$" AND the "," either on page load or before the calculation?  Or better yet, can you tell javascript to ignore the "$" and ","?

I know in PERL, you can use a slash... is there something like that in javascript?

Here's one of the pages where the calculator is located:
http://www.collectorcarsforsale.com/collectorcars/listings/l0002.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Scott

You can easily search for the $ and , and remove them before you try to do calculations.  I beleive the syntax would be something along these lines:

nPrice = priceField.value.replace("$","").replace(",","")
