Question

Having an issue with commas and values.

I have a value that keeps changing all the time from checkboxes, sliding from jQuery ui slider and keyup functions. I want to add commas to the total that is being changed each time rather than building it into each function. If I have to build it into each function, I am not opposed to that either though. The end value just needs to have commas in it.

Here’s a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZSeHU/

Any thoughts here?

Answer 1

Replace $("#increasedRevenueValue").val(value) with setIncRevenueValue(value)

Inside, use

$("#increasedRevenueValue").val('$'+addCommas(value));

where addCommas is the following function:

function addCommas(nStr)
{
    nStr += '';
    x = nStr.split('.');
    x1 = x[0];
    x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
    var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
    while (rgx.test(x1)) {
        x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
    }
    return x1 + x2;
}
