parse float with Comma Decimal Values

javascript's parseFloat doesn't take a locale parameter. So you will have to replace comma(,), dollar sign($) with empty

Example :
 Full Cost  Value : $1,500.00

convert the commas to Normal value(decimal value).

var fullcost = parseFloat($("#fullcost").text().replace('$', '').replace(',', '').replace(',', '.')); //1500.00

fullcost =parseFloat(1500.00)

Result value : 1500.00

The parseFloat() function parses a string and returns a floating point number.

This function determines if the first character in the specified string is a number. If it is, it parses the string until it reaches the end of the number, and returns the number as a number, not as a string.

Note: Only the first number in the string is returned!

Note: Leading and trailing spaces are allowed.

Note: If the first character cannot be converted to a number, parseFloat() returns NaN.
