Hello:

I have a text field * a text field and it places the results in text. I want to be able to perfom additional calculations on the results but I can’t because it is text. How do I do this?

Here is my code:
function updateproLostSalesText() {
//read Work Days in POR X average daily sales input values
// inspect the html file to get the field IDs
var res1 = parseInt($(‘#m1-RESULTS-results5Field’).val(), 10);
var res2 = parseInt($(‘#m1-RESULTS-results6Field’).val(), 10);

//convert all non-numeric (NaN) inputs to 0
res1 = isNaN(res1) ? 0 : res1;
res2 = isNaN(res2) ? 0 : res2;

//compute projected lost sales
ans = res1 * res2;

//display total
$(‘#m1-RESULTS-proLostSalesText’).text(ans);
}
Thank you for all of the help. I have learned so much from the support you give. I’m almost finished my App but just get stuck on things that make sense when you explain it. I really appreciate all of the assistance.

@CelesteP,

You’re setting the text for the total with the wrong snippet. Use .val(ans) instead .text(ans)

Thanks again. That worked perfectly. I was trying to model my code after an example and kept the results as a text field like the example.

Thanks again,

Celeste
