For your case  just use   var votevalue      this  data  votevalue      There are some ways to convert string to number in javascript   The best way   var str    1   var num    str    simple enough and work with both int and float   You also can   var str    1   var num   Number str     without new  work with both int and float   or  var str    1   var num   parseInt str 10     for integer number var num   parseFloat str     for float number   DON T   var str    1   var num   new Number str      num will be an object  typeof num     object    Use parseInt only for special case  for example  var str    ff   var num   parseInt str 16     255  var str    0xff   var num   parseInt str     255

You should just use     before   this   That s going to convert the string to number  so   var votevalue      this  data  votevalue      Oh and I recommend to use closest   method just in case      var votevalue      this  closest   btn-group   data  votevalue

You can use parseInt string  radix  to convert string value to integer like this code below  var votevalue   parseInt    button   data  votevalue         DEMO

It sounds like this is referring to something else than you think  In what context are you using it   The this keyword is usually only used within a callback function of an event-handler  when you loop over a set of elements  or similar  In that context it refers to a particular DOM-element  and can be used the way you do   If you only want to access that particular button  outside any callback or loop  and don t have any other elements that use the btn-info class  you could do something like   parseInt     btn-info   data  votevalue    10     You could also assign the element an ID  and use that to select on  which is probably a safer way  if you want to be sure that only one element match your selector

Although this is an old post  I thought that a simple function can make the code more readable and keeps with jQuery chaining code-style   String prototype toNum   function        return parseInt this  10       can be used with jQuery   var padding top       some div   css  padding-top      string   10px  var padding top       some div   css  padding-top   toNum      number  10    or with any String object    123  toNum      123  number

It sounds like this in your code is not referring to your  btn element  Try referencing it explicitly with a selector   var votevalue   parseInt     btn   data  votevalue    10     Also  don t forget the radix

var string   123  is string    parseInt parameter is string    var string    123    var int  parseInt string     console log int      Output will be 123

You can adding a   before the string without using parseInt and parseFloat and radix  Simply  sample   var votevalue       button   data  votevalue     alert typeof votevalue
