I'm trying to create a checkout menu with jQuery and HTML and I am having trouble getting the input box for the item quantity to behave predictably. When I use the cursor to change the input value, the output for the 'price' variable is "NaN". When I use the arrow keys, the price updates once, but fails after the first change. How do I get the number input value, multiply it by the text (the price) in the <p>
tag, and update the text every time the number is increased or decreased? I've got this much so far on my own:
Here is my HTML:
<input id="quantity" size="30" type="number" value="1" />
<p id="total">29.99</p>
And my JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
function updatePrice() {
var num = parseInt($("#quantity").val());
var price = (num) * parseFloat($("#total").text());
var total = price.toFixed(2);
$("#total").replaceWith(total);
}
$(document).on("change, keyup, input", "#quantity", updatePrice);
});
JS Fiddle.
