Question

http://jsfiddle.net/7Upk7/

I am simply trying to some how add multiple values, and append the answer in a specified node.

So for example I am trying to add all the values of td.add-hour and output the answer in td.sum-hour

$('td.add-hour').each(function() {
    sum += Number($(this).val());
});

$('td.sum-hour').html(sum);​

But I’m really struggling to find an simple working solution. Can anyone please advise to a jquery solution.

Please see fiddle below with one of many attempts.

A couple things:

sum is never initialized. Before anything else, write: var sum = 0;

.val is to get the value of inputs. You want to use .text().
