adding money values 1

craigward · Jul 4, 2012

Hi there,

I am having trouble getting a math function to add to currency values together.

The issue is the rounding, here is a basic example. var c is returning 3761 and it should be 3762.38

I have played with a lot of examples but can't get it working. Is there a simple method out there to achieve the correct calculation?

Thanks for looking.

Code:

<html>
<head>

</head>

<body onLoad="calcvals()">

<script language="JavaScript">

function calcvals(){

var a = '3145,8'
var b = '616,58'
var c = parseFloat(a) + parseFloat(b)
alert(c)

}

</script>

</body>
</html>

Javascript has no locale settings, so it can't recognize a comma as a decimal separator. Having values that use a comma as a decimal separator will cause issues like the one you are having. That is the actual numbers are being parsed as rounded integers since the comma there is not valid.

Change your values to use periods instead.

Code:

var a = '3145[COLOR=white red].[/color]8'

var b = '616[COLOR=white red].[/color]58'
