Question

I am getting a Uncaught Syntax Error: Unexpected Identifier in the Chrome Console Window. The lines are below, I have just posted a snippet of the function, the entire function can be found on jsFiddle.

var shipping_price = $(".shipping_price").html();
shipping_price = shipping_price.substring(1, shipping_price.length);
$('input[name="shipping_price"]').val(shipping_price); // Update our Hidden Field

// Unexpected Identifier
result += eval(shipping_price); // This is where Im getting the error

I have to use eval otherwise the function does not work. I am also getting an error when I call the above function:

// Call getTotalPrice(); On DOM Ready
// dom ready
getTotalPrice(); // Anonymous function error, I think this is fixed when I fix the above error.

Any ideas how I can fix these easily?

Answer 1

try this

var shipping_price = $(".shipping_price").html();
shipping_price = shipping_price.substring(1); //unless your removing the dollar sign from the string, you should start on 0, not 1.. which would mean you dont need substring at all.
$('input[name="shipping_price"]').val(shipping_price); // Update our Hidden Field

result += Number(shipping_price); 

also, Anonymous function error means that the function does not exist, check capitalization and spelling
