Text String To Numbers?

[Twango]

Hi, i want to have an html input tag that is used to calculate things etc. i want to make the text string into numbers, how would i do that?

I suppose you're doing the calculation with JavaScript (since you're posting in this forum)?If so,

var fieldValueNum = new Number(fieldValue);

is what you need... assuming fieldValue holds the string value of the form field. With the above, fieldValueNum will contain the numeric value of fieldValue, thanks to the Number() object's constructor.Additionally, you may use the parseFloat() and parseInt() functions to convert a value into a float or an integer respectively.

thanks, one more question, any way to round up to 2 decimals?

Times by 100, use Math.ceil(), divide by 100.

They start asking you after you've made about 2000 posts without annoying people.

And ideally, when you have not asked if you could be a mod. And having that said... you pretty much blew up your chances (at least for the forseeable future)
