Split Function for jQuery Results

[Steve Dyke]

The value of qtyofsplits is 1,3 yet the following function returns only one element after the split is done. What am I doing wrong?

function submitsplitrequest(wIndex){
		var cr = commentRow + "quickeditQty";
		
		var totqty = $('#'+cr).val();
		
		var nosplits = $('#noofsplits').val();
		var countcommas = $('#qtyofsplits').text().split(",");
				
		var totalqty = 0;
		
		for(i=0; i<countcommas.length; i++){
			totalqty = totalqty + countcommas[i];
			
		}
		alert(totalqty);
		
		
		//$.getJSON("/FAIWebApp/RejectionTagUpdateDispositionCommentServlet",{p1:wIndex,p2:cr},rtudcResults);
	}

Have you actually checked the value of $('#qtyofsplits').text() to ensure that this is so?

I just did and alert($('#qtyofsplits').text()) returns nothing.
However alert($('#qtyofsplits')) returns 1,3.

An alert isn't a valid debugging tool.

What's Firebug say?

How can I use Firebug within my Websphere Development Environment(WDSC)?

I have no idea. I use it in Firefox. You shouldn't let an IDE constrict your environment.
