Add strings together in jQuery - javascript

i need to get a string in jQuery to determine an integer value, then add the letters "px" to the string.
So, this is what I have:
$(function(){
var embed_height = $('.embedheight').height();
if( embed_height < 160 )
{
var imheight = embed_height-10;
var infowidth = imheight+10+"px";
$('.embedinfo').css('left','infow');
}
});
what i need is the variable infowidth to say for example 135px
currently, that jQuery function is not working

Why? jQuery will automatically cast units (px) on to an integer:
var infowidth = imheight+10;
$('.embedinfo').css('left', infowidth);
Fiddle here to play with it.

Calculating 2 values from fields but it's not working properly

I am calculating 2 fields on a form with values but it seems in some cases it's not working. Here's my javascript. I am adding $oneTimeCostField and $recurringTotalCostField to get the value into the $totalRetailAmountField. Here's the result I am getting when I add say 1,555.00 + 566.00 = the value is 567.00 (?). Any idea what I'm doing wrong? In some cases it works correctly when the values are lower. Thanks, just stumped
var $recurringCostField = $('#am_attribute_campaign_addon_monthly_cost_value');
var $recurringTotalCostField = $('#am_attribute_campaign_addon_total_monthly_cost_value');
var $totalRetailAmountField = $('#am_oie_string_total_monthly_cost_value');
var $oneTimeCostField = $('#am_attribute_campaign_addon_one_time_cost_value');
function calcVal() {
var num1 = $oneTimeCostField.val();
var num2 = $recurringTotalCostField.val();
var result = parseFloat(num1) + parseFloat(num2);
if (!isNaN(result)) {
$totalRetailAmountField.val(result.toFixed(2));
}
}
calcVal();
$oneTimeCostField.on("keydown keyup", function() {
calcVal();
});
$recurringTotalCostField.on("keydown keyup", function() {
calcVal();
});
You need to remove the commas before parsing:
var result = parseFloat(num1.replace(/,/g, '')) + parseFloat(num2.replace(/,/g, ''));
similiar question on this link
Remove commas from the string using JavaScript
That is because parseFloat() converts the string "1,555.00" to the number 1.
To convert it to a proper floating point number, it needs to include a single dot only.
console.log(parseFloat("1.555"));

Get calculated ratio value from data-attribute string

I got some aspect ratio value in a data-attribute like
<li data-ratio="4/3">4:3</li>
On a click I need to get the correct value - not the string, like I get it with this:
'click li': function(event) {
var ratio = $(event.currentTarget).attr('data-ratio');
}
I don't know if I have to change the format of the data-attribute or just do some convertion on the result - like:
var value = $(event.currentTarget).attr('data-ratio').split('/');
ratio = value[0] / value[1];
The .split() method will return an array of strings. Although JavaScript will sometimes handle the type coercion, you should still convert these strings to numbers. You can use the parseInt() function in order to retrieve the number from the string:
Example Here
$('li').on('click', function(event) {
var values = $(this).attr('data-ratio').split('/');
var ratio = parseInt(values[0], 10) / parseInt(values[1], 10);
// ...
});
I can not good understand what you are looking for, can you please check this?
$(document).ready(function(){
$('li').click(function(){
alert($(this).attr('data-ratio'))
})
})
Have a look at this fiddle and tell me what you need if this is wrong.

Adding percentage to a price field incl. currency code

I'm trying to add 10% to a price field via javascript and so far i haven't been able to, and was hoping you guys would be able to help.
The field incl. currency code etc.
I did try something in this direction:
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
var Total = $("#cashamount");
Total.val(Total.val() * 1.1);
});
</script>
But that didn't work ;(
The price field shows up like the following.
<span id="cashamount" class="additional xxlarge carrental_total_amount">48,300.00 ISK</span>
After adding the 10% to the price, it should say in this example:
<span id="cashamount" class="additional xxlarge carrental_total_amount">53,130.00 ISK</span>
Any ideas are welcome, and i would really appreciate help on this matter as i do think it's fairly simple but i'm not very well into Javascripting.
First this: (solution below)
The .val() method is primarily used to get the values of form elements
such as input, select and textarea. In the case of elements, the
.val() method returns an array containing each selected option; if no
option is selected, it returns null, jQuery docs
The .text() method cannot be used on form inputs or scripts. To set or
get the text value of input or textarea elements, use the .val()
method. To get the value of a script element, use the .html() method,
jQuery docs
So, one solution would be next:
var Total = $("#cashamount");
var totalNumber = Number(Total.text().replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
Total.text((totalNumber * 1.1).toFixed(2));
//Add currency to this
Here's JsFiddle
var x = $("#cashamount").html(); // Fetching the value
var xSplit = x.split(" "); // Splitting the currency and ammount and storing it in array.
var intAmmt = +xSplit[0].replace(/,/g , ""); // Removing comma and Making it a integer
var newAmmt = intAmmt*1.1; // Incrementing by 10%
var y = newAmmt.toLocaleString() + " " + xSplit[1]; // Adding the currency sign with a space
$("#cashamount").html(y); // Setting the html;
So you can create a function for this:
function updateVal(elem){
var x = elem.html(); // Fethching the value
var xSplit = x.split(" "); // Splitting the currency and ammount and storing it in array.
var intAmmt = +xSplit[0].replace(/,/g , ""); // Removing comma and Making it a integer
var newAmmt = intAmmt*1.1; // Incrementing by 10%
var y = newAmmt.toLocaleString() + " " + xSplit[1]; // Adding the currency sign with a space
elem.html(y); // Setting the html;
}
and use it as:
$(document).ready(function(){
updateVal($("#cashamount"))
});

Increase value of digit within HTML string (jQuery)

I have a bunch of images in a folder which are all named as numbers. The first one is displayed on document load.
<img src="image/01.jpg" />
I want to use jQuery to flick through the images. In other words, I want to convert the HTML to a string and then increase the value of what is currently "01".
So far I have:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
var $n = $("img").html(htmlString(17));
$n.val(Number($n.val())+1);
});
});
The bit that I'm sure I'm completely wrong on is the selecting of the digit (i.e delcaring var $n. I've tried to convert the HTML to a string there and count along the characters but I'm not even sure if that's the right route to be taking; I can't find anything similar anywhere.
Thanks.
img element doesn't have html content, apart from that you are using html as setter not getter. You can replace the src attribute's value using replace method:
$('img').prop('src', function(_, src) {
return src.replace(/\d+/, function(n) {
var num = +n + 1;
return num.toString().length === 1 ? '0' + num.toString() : num;
});
});
http://jsfiddle.net/Bb84Q/
You can just
1)catch the src value in a js variable
2) using substr function get rid of the "image/" part.
3) Then using split() on "." take the first array slot's value.
4)Convert that to integer using intVal() and
5) then increment the value
var source = "image/01.jpg";
var number = source.split(".")[0].split("/")[1];
number = (number *1) + 1
var newsource = "image/" + number + ".jpg";
this is how you'd actually get source
var source = $("img").attr('src');
just realized that this will make "image/2.jpg" , you could use a data-number attribute, you could re-name the images that are 1 - 9 , but this gives you an idea

jQuery add two CSS property values

I was trying to get the top position of the element and the margin-bottom value.
that worked:
var top = -$('elem').postion().top; // lets say its -54
var margin = $('elem').css('margin-top'); // lets say its 0
Bud I need to add these up for my animate function. so top+margin but jQuery gives -540 px but it need to return -54 px.. or when its negative it just gives -54-10px when I need -64 px.
Is there someting to get this fixed? I can't come up with it and it annoys me!
My code:
var top = -$('#id1').position().top;
var margin = $('.scrollable').css('margin-top');
var combine = top+margin;
$('.animate').animate({'margin-top' : combine});
Bud i need to add these up for my animate function. so top+margin but jQuery gives 540 p
css values are strings, so since one of your operands is a string, the + is being interpreted as a concatenation operator (54 + "0" = "540"), not an addition operator. (Details) To turn them into numbers, use parseInt(str, 10), e.g.:
// I believe `top` will already be a number; check and if not, use parseInt here too,
// e.g. var top = -parseInt($('#id1').position().top, 10);
var top = -$('#id1').position().top;
// This will definitely be a string that needs parsing; note that we're assuming
// here that the margin has been given in `px` units.
var margin = parseInt($('.scrollable').css('margin-top'), 10);
// Now this + is an addition, not a concatenation
var combine = top+margin;
$('.animate').animate({'margin-top' : -combine});
It's because it returns the values as strings, and using the + operator on them concatenates. You can use parseInt to get a number from a string. It'll even work if there is a px suffix, though it will stop at that.
var top = $('elem').postion().top;
var margin = $('elem').css('margin-top');
var total = parseInt(top, 10) + parseInt(margin, 10);
Try this
var combine = parseInt(top) + parseInt(margin);
