[jquery] Convert string to number and add one

I want to turn the value I get from the id into a number and add one to it then pass the new value into the dosomething() function to use. When I tried this and the value is one I get back 11 not 2.

$('.load_more').live("click",function() { // When user clicks
    var newcurrentpageTemp = $(this).attr("id") + 1;// Get id from the hyperlink
    alert(parseInt(newcurrentpageTemp));
    dosomething();
});

var sVal = '234';
var iNum = parseInt(sVal); //Output will be 234.

I've got this working in a similar situation for moving to next page like this:

$("#page_next").click(function () {
    $("#pageNumber").val(parseInt($("#pageNumber").val()) + 1);
    submitForm(this);
    return false;
});

You should be able to add brackets to achieve what you want something like this:

var newcurrentpageTemp = (parseInt($(this).attr("id"))) + 1;//Get the id from the hyperlink

The simplest solution here is to change

  var newcurrentpageTemp = $(this).attr("id") + 1;//Get the id from the hyperlink

to:

  var newcurrentpageTemp = (($(this).attr("id")) * 1) + 1;//Get the id from the hyperlink

a nice way from http://try.jquery.com/levels/4/challenges/16 :

adding a + before the string without using parseInt and parseFloat and radix and errors i faced for missing radix parameter

sample

var number= +$('#inputForm').val();

The parseInt solution is the best way to go as it is clear what is happening.

For completeness it is worth mentioning that this can also be done with the + operator

$('.load_more').live("click",function() { //When user clicks
  var newcurrentpageTemp = +$(this).attr("id") + 1; //Get the id from the hyperlink
  alert(newcurrentpageTemp);
  dosomething();
});

Have you tried flip-flopping it a bit?

var newcurrentpageTemp = parseInt($(this).attr("id"));
newcurrentpageTemp++;
alert(newcurrentpageTemp));

var first_value = '2';
// convert this string value into int
parseInt(first_value);

$('.load_more').live("click",function() { //When user clicks
          var newcurrentpageTemp = parseInt($(this).attr("id")) + 1
          dosomething(newcurrentpageTemp );
      });

Parse the Id as it would be string and then add.

e.g.

$('.load_more').live("click",function() { //When user clicks
    var newcurrentpageTemp = parseInt($(this).attr("id")) + 1;//Get the id from the hyperlink
    alert(newcurrentpageTemp);
    dosomething();
});

You have to parse the id before adding 1

 $('.load_more').live("click",function() { //When user clicks
              var newcurrentpageTemp = parseInt($(this).attr("id"));
              newcurrentpageTemp ++;
              dosomething(newcurrentpageTemp );
 });

I believe you should add 1 after passing it to parseInt

$('.load_more').live("click",function() { //When user clicks
          var newcurrentpageTemp = parseInt($(this).attr("id")) + 1;   
          alert(newcurrentpageTemp);
          dosomething();
      });

Simple and best solution is like this. take a string in one variable and then convert it using parseInt() method like below.

var stringValue = '921795';
var numValue = parseInt(stringValue);

parseInt() method will return the number like this 921795. after this, you can add any number to your value.
