How to convert a currency string to a double with jQuery or Javascript?
<p>I have a text box that will have a currency string in it that I then need to convert that string to a double to perform some operations on it. </p>

<p>"$1,100.00" -> 1100.00</p>

<p>This needs to occur all client side. I have no choice but to leave the currency string as a currency string as input but need to cast/convert it to a double to allow some mathematical operations. </p>
