How to reformat an auto formatted number using JQuery

Question

Hello Im fairly new to Javascript/JQuery. I wanted to autoformat a number while it was being inputted. I used a Jquery plugin for the same - <script src="simple.money.format.js"></script> And calling it using $('.money').simpleMoneyFormat();

I want it be reformatted when I hit a button (Save) so that the value can be saved into the database. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use the submit event handler, the code will be called when the user hits the submit button, and before the data sent to the server

$('#your-form-id').submit(function () {
    $('.money').simpleMoneyFormat();
});

See the following fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/EliteSystemer/wv3sxo3j/

$('button').on("click", function() {  //Submit
  var m = $('.money').val();  //Get input value
  m = m.replace(/,/g, "");  //Remove commas
  $('.money').val(m);  //Update input value
  ...send to server
});
