There are two way that you can add two number in jQuery

First way:

var x = parseInt(a) + parseInt(b);
alert(x);

Second Way:

var x = parseInt(a+2);
alert(x);

Now come your question

var a = parseInt($("#a").val()); 
var b = parseInt($("#b").val());
alert(a+b);

Ok so your code actually works but what you need to do is replace a and b in your click function with the jquery notation you used before the click  This will ensure you have the correct and most up to date values  so changing your click function to this should work      submit   on  click   function        var sum       a   val   match   d          b   val   match   d         alert sum                 or inlined to      submit   on  click   function        alert     a   val   match   d          b   val   match   d

Adding strings concatenates them    gt   1     1   11    You have to parse them into numbers first      parseFloat is used here      Because of it s not known that     whether the number has fractional places       var a   parseFloat     a   val         b   parseFloat     b   val       Also  you have to get the values from inside of the click handler      submit   on  click   function        var a   parseInt     a   val    10          b   parseInt     b   val    10         Otherwise  you re using the values of the textboxes from when the page loads
