Number formatting currency

[matfish]

Hi there,

 

I have a shopping basket which I'm trying to add up in JS depending on which delivery method the customer chooses, however I have values such as 1,200 + 25.00 but I keep getting "NaN" when trying to add them

 

I have a feeling it's the larger values - any help?

replace the comma with an empty string before doing the addition.

 

var amount1 = '1,200';

var amount2 = 25.00;

var total = amount1.replace(',', '') + amount2;

You'll also have to convert the string to an integer using parseInt():

 

var amount1 = '1,200';
var amount2 = 25.00;
var total = parseInt(amount1.replace(',', '')) + amount2;

Brilliant thank you.

 

Removing the comma in the string, converting it to a number then adding the amounts together worked a treat.

 

However, how do I go about number formatting this back to x,xxx.xx like UK currency?

 

Many thanks for your help.
