The ''ssParseNum'' syntax is used in JavaScript expressions
==Overview==
To convert a number from a formatted string (containing symbols like "$" or "%") to a number using [[JavaScript]] you can use a function called ssParseNum.
==Syntax==
:<font size="3">'''ssParseNum( ''value'', ''emptyok'' );''' </font>
Where: <br / >
<b><em>value </em></b>- is the a value to be converted to a number (i.e: $5,000.00 and 5,000% will be converted to 5000)<br />
<b><em>emptyok </em></b>- is a true/false value
:*if ''emptyok'' is true - an empty string will be returned by ssParseNum if the value is ''empty''
:*if ''emptyok'' is false - a "0" will be returned by ssParseNum if the value is ''empty''
==Example==
<pre>
ssParseNum($5,000.00,true);
</pre>
Will return: 5000
==Requirements==
This function is part of the <b>sstools.js</b> library and needs to be added to [[Browser Script]] custom fields or on template pages, sign-up pages etc. using the following syntax:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/sstools.js"></SCRIPT>
