I need to write a jQuery / Java function that will take the numbers

  • 0

I need to write a jQuery / Java function that will take the numbers from an AJAX updated value, sanitize it to remove the $, reduce the price by a certain percentage (discPerc) and then make an alert window that notifies the customer of the reduced price.

Here’s what I have so far, I realize I’m not the best coder!

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function superSalePrice(discPerc) {
      var optionPrice = $("#productTotal").val();
  var applyDisc = optionPrice * discPerc;
  var rPrice = Math.round(applyDisc * 1) / 1;

  $("tB").click(function() {
  alert("With selected options, final price with discounts is $" + rPrice + "!");
  };
  )
};
</script>
</head>

//THEN the button
<input type="button" id="tB" value="Test Disc. Calc." onclick="superSalePrice(.85);" />

//THEN the option
<td id="productTotal" class="rowElement3"> $3,450.00</td>

I don’t know how to sanitize the value, so that part has not been included yet.

Thanks!

    I think you need to make a few changes, try something like this:

    function superSalePrice(discPerc) {
    var optionPrice = $("#productTotal").html(); // Changed from .val()
    var total = parseFloat(optionPrice.replace(/\$/g, "").replace(/,/g, ""));  // Added this
    var applyDisc = optionPrice * discPerc;
    var rPrice = Math.round(applyDisc * 1) / 1;  // Didn't check this

    // I'm not sure what the following is for, because you are just binding ANOTHER function every time the button is clicked. Maybe you just want the "alert" line
    $("tB").click(function() {
        alert("With selected options, final price with discounts is $" + rPrice + "!");
    });
}
