Math Evaluating as Text

[glay]

I have a math formula that is evaulating as text or so it would seem:

stop1 = close() + range ;

close() is 700.3
range is 2.40

stop1 is returning 700.32.40

I'm looking for 702.70! hehe I've tried using parathensis but that didn't work either. Help

P.S. Before this I used toFixed to convert range from 2.40385734738 to 2.40. Does this cause it to act as a string then? I need two decimal places. What other choices do I have? Now I can not preform math on the number?

The .toFixed() method will convert a value to a string in which case JavaScript will concatenate the values.
To convert a string to a number multiply it by 1 eg range*1

Ahhhhhh! That would of been simple. I used that toFloat command I saw on another post. It also worked as well.

thx
