“replace is not a function”

Question

I\'m trying to remove the comma from a number.

var thisbill_str = \"\"; 
thisbill = $(\'#linebill_\' + z).val(); 
if (isNaN(thisbill) ) { thisbill = 0.00; } 
thi         


        

Answer 1

It is most likely caused by thisbill_str being something other than a String. Maybe you have some other code somewhere that automatically converts thisbill_str to a Number?

You can convert back to a string using String(thisbill_str).

The complete code would be:

thisbill = String(thisbill_str).replace(",", "")
