Manipulating input

[florida]

I have an input box done in javascript. When a number is entered it works but if someone enters a comma such as in the input "200,000" it throws my computation off. I need to compute the number 200000.

Please advise how I can get rid of the comma when entered in. Should I be leaning toward a reg expressionsubstitution? Please provide an example if possible?

If its the only comma you are worried about, that can be solved using
string.replace('character to be removed','character to be replaced with');

for a complext string parse,regExp could be the best solution.

If you want, you can use this regexp to remove all non-numerical enteries.

string.replace(/\D/g,'');
