Question

I’m trying to get the added total of an attribute value. The value is either a monetary sum eg. $29.99, or a text string, eg. sold.

I’m using the following code, which I’m sure is not proper. I get a returned value of NaN, which I know means “not a number”. I have a feeling I may not be properly removing the text string, dollar sign, commas, or all three.

Any help in providing a proper solution is much appreciated. Thanks.

var total = parseFloat($('span.buyoffer').attr('data-price').replace(/[A-Za-z$-]/g, ""));

Answer 1

var total;
$.each($('span.buyoffer'), function(i,v) {
    var val = $(v).attr('data-price');
    if ($.isNumeric(val)) {
        total = total + val
    }
});
//here you will have the total value
