parse a number to float problem

[baris22]

hello,

i know php but i have got no knowledge on ajax. this is the function my programmer made long time ago. it is showing the total value on the text areas. The problem am facing now is:

forexample if the value on the field is: 1.50 it turns into 1.

What can i do to solve the problem. i think it is something to do with parseInt

function amtTot(){

	//fee_tot1
	//alert(document.getElementById("fee_tot1").value);
	var tot_amt=parseInt(document.getElementById("fee_tot1").value)+parseInt(document.getElementById("fee_tot2").value)+parseInt(document.getElementById("fee_tot3").value)+parseInt(document.getElementById("fee_tot4").value)+parseInt(document.getElementById("fee_tot7").value)+parseInt(document.getElementById("fee_tot8").value);
	//alert(tot_amt);
	document.getElementById("tot_amt").value=tot_amt;
	addValueText();
	//tot_amt
}

thanks all.

that’s right. parseInt() creates integer values. what you want are floats, thus parseFloat().
