Question

I’m trying to set up a filter using jQuery. I’ll have a certain amount of divs, each with a numeric value (let’s say price).

The code below works fine, until you enter a value less than 10. Then you get results that shouldnt be there. (enter 4 for example)

Any help on fixing this would be great! thanks!

<script>
function sortmebaby()
{
    var divList = $('#containerMonkey div[id^="monkey_"]');  

$.each(divList, function(index, value)
{
    console.log($(value).attr('xprice'));
    if ( $(value).attr('xprice') > $('#mankipower').val())
        $(value).hide();
    else
        $(value).show();
    //alert(index + ': ' + value);
});

}
</script>

<div id="containerMonkey">
    <div id="monkey_1" xprice="10">10</div>
    <div id="monkey_2" xprice="20">20</div>
    <div id="monkey_3" xprice="30">30</div>
    <div id="monkey_4" xprice="40">40</div>
    <div id="monkey_5" xprice="50">50</div>
</div>
<input type="text" name="mankipower" id="mankipower">
<input type="button" value="PUSH" onclick="sortmebaby()">

Thanks!

Answer 1

The condition in your if statement is comparing strings, not integers as you’re expecting. You can use parseInt to convert the strings to numbers:

var val1 = parseInt($(value).attr('xprice'), 10),
    val2 = parseInt($('#mankipower').val(), 10);
if(val1 > val2)
    $(value).hide();
else
    $(value).show();

Here’s an updated example.
