Question

I want to parse an an element and set the area by currency.

HTML:

<span id="price">¥82,84</span><br/>

Javascript:

        price = document.getElementById("price").innerHTML;
        price = price.slice(0,1);

        if(price == "€")
        {
            area = "europe";
        }
        if(price == "£")
        {
            area = "europe";
        }
        if(price == "\$")
        {
            area == "northamerica";
        }
        if(price == "\¥")
        {
            area == "asia";
        }

Euro and Pounds are working, but Yen and Dollar not. Does anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

You are using equality comparison == in the statements where you should use assignment operator =.
