Cost Calculation Function With Parsed Numbers to Currency: Need Help Combining Functions

[Neredbojias]

With neither quill nor qualm, Fred quothed:

I'm trying to validate this script so the number entered is parsed
and a dollar sign is automatically entered before the number onBlur.

My problem is that when I do this, the script interoperates the dollar
sign as a character and not a numerical number and the script crashes
(NaN).

It should be easy to strip the $ before processing, no??

I'm trying to validate this script so the number entered is parsed
and a dollar sign is automatically entered before the number onBlur.

My problem is that when I do this, the script interoperates the dollar
sign as a character and not a numerical number and the script crashes
(NaN).

FYI: When I tested it, I executed the funtion via a double onBlur
call from the text box.

My best guess to resolving the issue is to insert the function within
the script. How would I go about doing this with out crashing
function calc()}?

(five * 1) + (six * 1);
document.autoSumForm.seventhBox.value = totalCost;
var fee = document.autoSumForm.TotalServiceFee.value;
if ( fee != "" ) {
var monthlySavings = totalCost - parseFloat(fee);
var yearlySavings = monthlySavings * 12;
document.autoSumForm.TotalMonthlySavings.value =
monthlySavings;
document.autoSumForm.TotalYearlySavings.value = ("" +
yearlySavings).replace(/(\.[0-9]{2}).*$/g, "$1");
}

}
function stopCalc(){
clearInterval(interval);
}
function fillUp(radioBtn) {
document.autoSumForm.TotalServiceFee.value = radioBtn.value;
calc();


}

}
}
}



How do I merge these two???

I was thinking after processig.

How would you do it? Can you post an example?

Well, in javascript it'd be simply:

var a;
....
....
a=a.slice(1);

(You could also use regexp replace.)

If you have to verify whether or not the "$" is there:

if (a.slice(0,1)=="$") {
a=a.slice(1);
}

There's similar functions in php, etc.
