How can we convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal Is there a function such as parseInt document getElementById amtid4 innerHTML

convert a JavaScript string variable to decimal/money

parseFloat(document.getElementById(amtid4).innerHTML);

For formatting numbers, use toFixed:

var num = parseFloat(document.getElementById(amtid4).innerHTML).toFixed(2);

num is now a string with the number formatted with two decimal places.
