I'm trying to add all of the calorie contents in my javascript like this:
$(function() {
var data = [];
$( "#draggable1" ).draggable();
$( "#draggable2" ).draggable();
$( "#draggable3" ).draggable();
$("#droppable_box").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
var currentId = $(ui.draggable).attr('id');
var total = 0;
data.push($(ui.draggable).attr('id'));
if(currentId == "draggable1"){
var myInt1 = parseFloat($('#MealplanCalsPerServing1').val());
}
if(currentId == "draggable2"){
var myInt2 = parseFloat($('#MealplanCalsPerServing2').val());
}
if(currentId == "draggable3"){
var myInt3 = parseFloat($('#MealplanCalsPerServing3').val());
}
if ( typeof myInt1 === 'undefined' || !myInt1 ) {
myInt1 = parseInt(0);
}
if ( typeof myInt2 === 'undefined' || !myInt2){
myInt2 = parseInt(0);
}
if ( typeof myInt3 === 'undefined' || !myInt3){
myInt3 = parseInt(0);
}
total = parseFloat(myInt1 + myInt2 + myInt3);
$('#response').append(total);
}
});
$('#myId').click(function(event) {
$.post("process.php", ({ id: data }), function(return_data, status) {
alert(data);
//alert(total);
});
});
});
Instead of adding the variables they get concatenated. I've tried using parseInt, parseFloat, and Number but I still just get concatenation and not addition. Please look at the view source at http://maureenmoore.com/momp_112412/121912_800.html
Your code concatenates three strings, then converts the result to a number.
You need to convert each variable to a number by calling parseFloat()
around each one.
total = parseFloat(myInt1) + parseFloat(myInt2) + parseFloat(myInt3);
