Using parseInt in script but getting NaN result

[jtrezza]

I am writing a script to add a simple series of form data. I am very new to scripting, but this seemed pretty straight forward. Any thoughts as to what I did wrong?

//this script calculates the total amount of departmental allocations and only allows submit if total value = 100%

function onSubmit() {

var pc1 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage'), 10);
var pc2 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage_2'), 10);
var pc3 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage_3'), 10);
var pc4 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage_4'), 10);
var pc5 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage_5'), 10);
var pc6 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage_6'), 10);

var tot = pc1 + pc2 + pc3 + pc4 + pc5 + pc6 ;

if(tot != '100'){

alert (tot) ;
alert('Total allocation amounts must equal 100%, please adjust the values and re-submit.');
return false;

}else{
return true;
}}

Your example is correct. I am not sure what was going on a with my original scenario, it was obviously something else.

Can you please show me an example of what

 (g_form.getValue('variables.hr_percentage')

looks like? Does it have % included in it?

its a variable - single line text.

just numerical value being entered...no spaces or special characters.

Try adding zero like this to see if that forces the correct data type.

var tot = pc1 + pc2 + pc3 + pc4 + pc5 + pc6 + 0;

Mark,
I tried the +0 with the same result.

makes no sense, I am missing something basic I am sure.
