convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal/money

How can we convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal?

Is there a function such as: 

parseInt(document.getElementById(amtid4).innerHTML)
Solution

  • Yes -- parseFloat.

    parseFloat(document.getElementById(amtid4).innerHTML);

    For formatting numbers, use toFixed:

    var num = parseFloat(document.getElementById(amtid4).innerHTML).toFixed(2);

    num is now a string with the number formatted with two decimal places.
