convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal/money

Question

How can we convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal?

Is there a function such as:

parseInt(document.getElementById(amtid4).innerHTML)
         


        

Answer 1

You can also use the Number constructor/function (no need for a radix and usable for both integers and floats):

Number('09'); /=> 9
Number('09.0987'); /=> 9.0987

Alternatively like Andy E said in the comments you can use + for conversion

+'09'; /=> 9
+'09.0987'; /=> 9.0987
