Question

I am working on a site that is using a form to accept donations for their foundation. The payment gateway returns an error if a “$” is included with the actual dollar amount.

Is there an easy way to strip the “$” out of the input field before submitting the form if they type one in?

Thanks.

Answer 1

$('#donationform').submit(function() {
  //get amount value
  var CurrencyField = $("input[name='chargetotal']").val()
  //return amount without $
  $("input[name='chargetotal']").val( CurrencyField.replace('$', '') );
});

Should do the trick 🙂
