Question

I have this Jquery code and i need to add the var data and a number together…

$('div[name=price]').html("");  
    $.post("getprice.php", { unit: $('input[name=property]:checked').val() , date: $('#car').val() + $('#smh').val()  } ,function(data){
        $('div[name=price]').html(data + 1);
        $('#bprice').val(data);
});

But data equals 499 but it just displays as 4991 when it should say 500

Thanks

Answer 1

You have two options, since Javascript is defaulting to treating it as a string:

$('div[name=price]').html(parseInt(data, 10) + 1);

$('div[name=price]').html(data*1 + 1);

EDIT: I’m not sure I picked the right field you were talking about, but the idea is you have to convert a string to a numbers, and that is done by parseInt or multiplying by 1
