Hi.

I've a page where I'm trying to add together all the numeric values of
a set of select boxes, but I can't get the javascript to add the
numbers as numbers instead of concatenating as strings.

Here's my script:

<script type="text/javascript">

function valSel() {
var selCount=0;

var selV1=document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_1').value;
var selV2=document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_2').value;
var selV3=document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_3').value;
var selV4=document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_4').value;
var selV5=document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_5').value;

selCount = (selCount + selV1);
selCount = (selCount + selV2);
selCount = (selCount + selV3);
selCount = (selCount + selV4);
selCount = (selCount + selV5);
selCount = (selCount +
document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_6').value);
selCount = (selCount +
document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_7').value);
selCount = (selCount +
document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_8').value);
selCount = (selCount +
document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_9').value);
selCount = (selCount +
document.getElementById('list_primaryinfo_10').value);

if (selCount != 55) {
alert(selCount);
return false ;
}
}

</script>

(You see I tried to process half of them as vars first just to see if
that'd change anything -- it's didn't.)

And here's a sample of the the select fields:

<select name="list_receive_info-su_meetings" size="1"
id="list_primaryinfo_1">
<option value="0" selected="selected">--</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
Service unit meetings<br />
<select name="list_receive_info-web_site" size="1"
id="list_primaryinfo_2">
<option value="0" selected="selected">--</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>

(I also tried it without the quotes surrounding the values, like this:
<option value=0 selected="selected">--</option>
<option value=10>10</option>
<option value=9>9</option>
but no difference.)

Any ideas what I can do about this?
Thanks!

You didn't read the FAQ, did you?

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people

the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.

How about parseInt()? As Thomas said: It's in the FAQ.

A prepended simple plus sign may also do.

Plenty of plus signs then. Whatever the OP prefers - it's all in the FAQ.
