Question

When i do

$("#sum").html(parseFloat("2.2").toFixed(2));

In firefox i get:

"<b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">2.20</b>"

in

 $("#sum").html()

I want to calculate (and display correct) with this div (#sum) what is not possible, because i get the float value with

sum = parseFloat($("#summe").html());

and it returns NaN.

This works with Chrome. Is there any way to get this to work with firefox?

Answer 1

Use .text() in both cases rather than .html(), since you are only setting text.

// Set
$("#sum").text(parseFloat("2.2").toFixed(2));

// Get (don't forget `var` if you're declaring here)
sum = parseFloat($("#summe").text());
