Question

I am trying to add two decimal values but the returned sum is pure integer. What is wrong? I can’t find it. any help will be welcome.

jQuery(".delivery-method #ship_select").change(function(){
    var cost = jQuery(this).val(); 
    jQuery("#delivery_cost").val(cost); //returns 20.00
    var tot = parseInt(cost) + parseInt(total); //total returns 71.96
});

With the code i am getting only 91 and not 91.96

Answer 1

Use parseFloat() instead of parseInt().

jQuery(".delivery-method #ship_select").change(function(){
    var cost = jQuery(this).val(); 
    jQuery("#delivery_cost").val(cost); //returns 20.00
    var tot = parseFloat(cost) + parseFloat(total); //total returns 71.96
});
