Question

I think I’m missing something really obvious here… must be… but for some reason I can’t get my progressbar to display a value that’s set in an attribute!

here’s my html:

<div class="progressBar" data-value="58"></div>

and js:

$(function () {
    $('.progressBar').each(function () {
        $(this).progressbar();
        //var value = $(this).attr('data-value');
        //alert(value);
        $(this).progressbar('option', 'value', $(this).attr('data-value'));
    });
});

It displays the bar, but doesn’t show any value (i.e. value = 0). If I hardcode a value into the js, it shows fine. If I uncomment the var value and alert line, I get an alert with the value. What am I missing??

You must parse your attr as int :

$(this).progressbar('option', "value", parseInt($(this).attr('data-value'), 10));
