Question

Using JQuery, I am trying to set the percentage of a div’s id value and write it to another div.

Here is my current code…

  $("#percentage").text(
    parseFloat($("#total").text(percentage calculation here?))
    );

So, if #capacity had a value of 100 and #total had a value of 10 then the value of #percentage would be 10

How can I get this result?

Hope this makes sense

Answer 1

$("#percentage").text(function() {
    var result = (parseInt($("#capacity").text(), 10) / parseInt($("#total").text(), 10));
    if (!isFinite(result)) result = 0;
    return result;
});​
