I have an HTML i开发者_StackOverflownput element and I'm trying to force a single decimal place into the input after the user changes the value. So, let's say the user enters "4", I run this code:
this.value = this.value.toFixed(1)
but then I get a JavaScript error saying "Object 4 has no method 'toFixed'".
It seems like JavaScript is trying to process a literal as a Number and failing but, er, why? And how do I avoid it?
this.value
is a String
when you get it from an input element. You need to cast it to a number before you can use a number's methods on it:
this.value = Number(this.value).toFixed(1);
Alternatively you can use the unary +
operator to cast the string to a number:
this.value (+this.value).toFixed(1);
If you need to remove string suffixes, then you could use parseFloat
:
this.value = parseFloat(this.value).toFixed(1);
However, it's worth noting that parseFloat
does not handle hexadecimal formats while casting to Number
does:
this.value = +'0xF'; //15
this.value = parseFloat('0xF'); //0
convert to a Number first,
this.value = Number(this.value).toFixed(1);
this.value
is a String, and a string does not have the toFixed
method.
