I have a javascript function that collects a number from a user input. Trouble is the function keeps treating the input like text instead of a numeric input.
anybody know the fix?

Javascript treats input as strings, so thats why it treating it as a string

You can convert strings to integers/floats with the parseInt and parseFloat functions, respectively.

var mystring = "100.98"; // "100.98"
var myint = parseInt(mystring); // 100
var myfloat = parseFloat(mystring); // 100.98

you can use EVAL(mystring) also for that matter
