The first paragraph quotes the summary above:

This article aims to explain how to use jQuery to obtain the numerical value in the HTML element, and then intercept the first few digits of the resulting string after calculation. Through a practical example, we will detail how to perform type conversion and string interception correctly, avoid common mistakes, and provide ready-to-use code examples.

Problem analysis

When using jQuery to obtain values ??from HTML elements, perform calculations and intercept the results, the following problems are likely to occur:

1. Type mismatch: Values ??obtained from HTML elements (such as input or div) are usually of string type, and direct numerical operations may cause errors.
2. Interception object error: The slice() method is a JavaScript string method, used to intercept a part of the string. Using the slice() method directly on jQuery objects has no effect.
3. Numeric type interception: The slice() method can only be used for strings or arrays, and cannot be used directly for numeric types.

solution

To resolve the above issue, the following steps are required:

1. Get the value in the HTML element: use jQuery's val() method to get the value of the input element, and use the html() method to get the content of other HTML elements.
2. Type conversion: Use parseFloat() or parseInt() to convert the obtained string into a numeric type for numerical operations.
3. Numerical operations: Perform the required numerical operations.
4. Convert to string: Convert the numeric result to a string using the toString() method or the string concatenation operator ( '' ).
5. String interception: Use the slice() method to intercept the first few digits of the string.
6. Update HTML elements: Use jQuery's html() method to update the intercepted string into the specified HTML element.

code example

The following is a complete code example that demonstrates how to use jQuery to obtain the numerical value in an HTML element, perform calculations, and intercept the first digits of the resulting string:

 <div id="upload-final" class="final-stats">201.1</div>
<input type="text" id="yourprice" maxlength="10" placeholder="Price" value="100">
<div id="yourspendmbps"></div>

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js"></script>

<script>
  // Get the value in the HTML element var price = parseFloat($("#yourprice").val());
  var uploadFinal = parseFloat($("#upload-final").html());

  // Numerical operation var result = price / uploadFinal;

  //Convert to string and intercept the first 4 digits var resultString = (result &#39;&#39;).slice(0, 4);

  // Update HTML element $("#yourspendmbps").html(resultString);
</script>

Code explanation:

• parseFloat($("#yourprice").val()) and parseFloat($("#upload-final").html()): Get the value of the input element and the content of the div element respectively, and convert them to floating point numbers.
• var result = price / uploadFinal;: Perform division operation.
• (result '').slice(0, 4): Convert the numerical result into a string and intercept the first 4 digits. Using '' here is a concise way to convert a numeric value into a string.
• $("#yourspendmbps").html(resultString);: Update the intercepted string to the div element with the ID yourspendmbps.

Things to note

• Make sure that the retrieved HTML element exists and contains a valid value.
• When using parseFloat() or parseInt() for type conversion, you must handle the conversion failure situation, such as using the isNaN() function to determine whether it is NaN (Not a Number).
• Choose the appropriate number of interception digits according to actual needs.
• If you need more complex numerical formatting, you can use JavaScript's toFixed() method or a professional numerical formatting library.

Summarize

Through the explanation of this article, you should master how to use jQuery to obtain the numerical value in the HTML element, perform calculation, and intercept the first few digits of the result string. The key is to do type conversion and string interception correctly and avoid common mistakes. Hope this article is helpful to you.
