replacing . with nothing

[kjc]

I am having trouble replacing a fullstop with "".

I've tried

commission=commission.replace(".","");

but i get the javascript error :
message object does not support this property or method
Is anyone able to advise me on this....

Thanks

.replace() is a method of String - so 'commission' is presumably - at least in some specific application of that line of code - not a string. You'll need to post more of your code, including the source of that value.

I am creating a calculator in a form and want to add a commission value to the total.

To add the commission value to the total I have used the following maths
total * (1.0 + commission)
so a commission of 3% is 1.03

However then someone adds a decimal to their comission ie 3.2, the javascript gets confused and gives NaN as it is trying to multipy the total by 1.03.2.

This is why I want to remove the fullstop from the original commission value...

Couldn't you divide commission by 100 giving you .032 and then add 1.0 giving 1.032?

ah yes - how simple was that!

Thanks everyone
