Spend ? More ...

[PaulGrimshaw]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to use javascript to display an amount that needs to be spent before delivery is free? For example, I offer free delivery over £25 and want to say something like "Spend £8.37 More for free delivery!".

var freedelivery = 25 - getCartItem(1);

I then use freedelivery in my javascript but I get NaN coming up instead of the actual amount. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,
Paul.

You are re-inventing the wheel. Actinic already does a spend x more to get y message, you just need to set up where it displays.

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately its not what I need - I need a variable so I can do other things with it (if its possible with this, please let me know).

I think I know what the problem is, its the leading £. Any idea how I can remove that, or even better, tell actinic to not insert it when writing the cookie in the first place?

Thanks,
Paul.

You'll need a regex line to strip off all non-numerics - don't forget GBP25.00 is represented as 2500 in Actinic speak.

Norman has posted code several times which show the javascript stripping technique, but it's probably easier just to a web search on javascript and regex.

Thanks bill, off I go!

Assuming cost contains the Actinic formatted string

 cost = cost.replace(/£|,|$/g,"");	// strip pound, dollar, and any commas
 cost = cost.replace(/./,".") - 0;		// fix decimal point and make numeric

Thanks Norman, that worked a treat
