title: javascript parse float error
body: <p>I am trying to get sum of rows of my table:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>td1 val = $5,000.00; td2 val = $3000.00;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And I am using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var totalnum = 0;
  $('.num').each(function(){
    totalnum+= parseFloat($(this).html());
  });
  $('.total_num').html(totalnum);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code works perfect if I remove money formatting from the number, otherwise it gives <code>NaN</code> as a result even if I am using <code>parseFloat</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
