ParseInt Does work in Firefox

[mike10101]

Hi there,

I have written the following javascript which works perfectly in IE but doesn't work in Firefox, I believe it this is due to passing in two variable into the function.

Can anybody shed any light?

function optionPrice(checked, value) {

if (checked == true){

document.FrmAdd.vehicleOpCost.value = parseInt(document.FrmAdd.vehicleOpCost.value) + parseInt(value) ;
document.FrmAdd.ExtrasCount.value = parseInt(document.FrmAdd.ExtrasCount.value) + 1;
}

else{

document.FrmAdd.vehicleOpCost.value -= value;
document.FrmAdd.ExtrasCount.value = parseInt(document.FrmAdd.ExtrasCount.new_val) - 1;
}
}

What is this? Are you making up form element attributes?

document.FrmAdd.ExtrasCount.new_val

The most robust syntax for using parseInt requires you pass in the base as a second parameter:

var data = parseInt("1234", 10);

In the example above I have specified base 10. If you miss this out, you may get unexpected results.

thanks for the replies,

with regard to: document.FrmAdd.ExtrasCount.new_val. This was just a bit of old testing code I left in and have now rectified. I have also added the base parameter but still displays NaN in FF. I have added the following code as a test:

var checked, value
function optionPrice(checked, value) {
document.write (isNaN(parseInt(value, 10)));
}

FF displays: True
IE displays: False

So it would seem to me that FF is refuseing to convert the value to an iteger? are there any other ways to convert variables to integers.

What is the code you are using to call the optionPrice() function? What are you passing into the "value" argument?

sorted... it wasn't working in FF because I used an invalid attribute in the input tag that called the funtion. IE didn't seem to mind, however FF refused to define it. Wish I had realised that sooner.. Many thanks for your support.

If you ever have a problem in firefox, make sure your on the latest version (currently 2.0.0.3) and then check the error log under tools from the menu bar. It will show all errors that happened.
