Using numeric keypad I have added a .switch handler which when clicked will bring the value back to '0' (test purpose only)
If the value is +32 and the button is pressed I would like it to change to -32, vice versa.
so far I have only gotten it to return to 0, i was thinking then deleting or adding the val again, even tried -- $('#myInput').val());
$('.switch').click(function () {
if (!isNaN($('#myInput').val()) && $('#myInput').val().length > 0) {
$('#myInput').val(parseInt($('#myInput').val()) - $('#myInput').val());
}
if (!isNaN($('#myInput').val()) && $('#myInput').val().length < 0) {
$('#myInput').val(parseInt($('#myInput').val()) + $('#myInput').val());
}
});
If all you're trying to do is switch back and forth between a positive/negative number you can make your code much simpler and lose all the if
conditions:
$('.switch').click(function () {
var $input = $('#myInput');
$input.val() != "" && !isNaN($input.val()) && $input.val(-$input.val());
});
This is the equivalent of multiplying the number by -1
, which will have the same effect.
