Javascript error !!! 1

I have a form where i am multiplying a figure with 100 to send it to other form .
the code i m using is :
document.cpiForm.PurchaseAmount.value = document.cpiForm.PurchaseAmount.value * 100;

When i enter a value like 24.98 , The other form receives it as 2498

but when i enter a value like 34.98 , the other form receives it as 3597.9999999999995

I want it to be 3498.

I hope i am able to explain you the problem.
Can u please help me out ?

Thanks in advance

Use the Math.round or parseInt method

document.cpiForm.PurchaseAmount.value = [!]Math.round([/!]document.cpiForm.PurchaseAmount.value * 100[!])[/!];

This will only work if you are sending integer numbers and NOT floats.

<.

I don't believe you typed it up correctly.

I did a test based on your response.

alert(34.98 * 100);

answer = 3497.9999999995

alert(Math.round(34.98 * 100));

answer = 3798

Are you sure your syntax is correct?



<.

second answer = 3[!]4[/!]98, not 3798

<.
