Unable to retrieve textbox value and subtract from it

Ive a textbox with id f开发者_StackOverflow社区nlprce I want to retrieve its value on an event, subtract 50 from it and update it to the latest value, ive this piece of code to work over:

function updateDiscount() {
    var iniprce = parseInt($("#fnlprce").text());
    var fnlprce = iniprce-50;
    $("#dscntdprce").html("Price: " + fnlprce + ");
    $("fnlprce").html(fnlprce);
}

But something getting wrong as it is showing, ‘NaN’ in the output, guidance please :)

Change

var iniprce = parseInt($("#fnlprce").text());

to

var iniprce = parseInt($("#fnlprce").val());

because val() is current value of that textbox.

Besides that, change

$("#dscntdprce").html("Price: " + fnlprce + ");

to

$("#dscntdprce").html("Price: " + fnlprce);

because yours one have syntax error

Use .val() instead of .text() as an input's value is found in its value= attribute, and not as a text node inside of it.

function updateDiscount() {
    var iniprce = parseInt($("#fnlprce").val(), 10);
    var fnlprce = iniprce - 50;
    $("#dscntdprce").html("Price: " + fnlprce);
    $("#fnlprce").html(fnlprce);
}
