Javascript Addition

[gevensen]

Need to help on javascript addition

 

I am retrieving a variable using the following

 

i declare the variable either

var TDIncome=parseFloat('0.00');

or

var TDIncome=0;

 

I then add it inside a tr loop

Where I convert the text MyInc to a float

 

var MyInc=$(this).find("#incometd").text();
TDIncome=TDIncome+parseFloat(MyInc);

 

When I bring it up in an alert box I get NaN displayed

 

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Use an alert on MyInc to check the text value. if parseFloat can't find a number it will return a NaN. You can check for it by using the isNaN(value) function.

e.g.

var my_parse_float = parseFloat(MyInc);
if (isNaN(my_parse_float)) my_parse_float = 0;

I just found Number(MyInc) works fine.. thanks
