Oh, I thought he wanted the int "7" out of "$7.95". If you just want the
float then use Erik's code, or mine without the parseInt part.

Because parseInt('$7.95') is not a number. Perhaps you want:
var price = '$7.95';
var priceFloat = parseFloat(price.substring(1));

Here's my faulty code:
var temp parseInt($('td#totalPriceData_1').text());
alert(temp);
Here's what my HTML looks like:
<td id="totalPriceData_1" class="totalPriceData">
$7.95
</td>
Why does alert(temp) show me NaN for this temp var?
What is a better way to convert this text to a int?
