Question

The percent variable gets “alerted” just fine. But, when I put it in the progressbar function, just defaults to zero. It will work if I hardcode the value i.e. value: 60. How can I make it work with my percent variable? Thanks.

    function updateProgress(percent)
    {
        alert(percent);
        $("#progressbar").progressbar({
            value: percent
        });
    }

Answer 1

function updateProgress (percent) {
  alert(percent);

  $("#progressbar").progressbar({
    value: parseFloat(percent)
  });
}
