I’ve got quite a big problem:

In sweden we don’t use dot (.) when writing decimals. We don’t write 12.3, we write 12,3.

Take a look at my function here:

[AS]  
fKlass = function (hcp) {  
if (\_root.sStartavgift) {  
\_root.sSumma -= \_root.sStartavgift;  
}  
if (hcp\<=12.4) {  
\_root.formData.klass = “A”;  
\_root.sStartavgift = 600;  
} else if (hcp\<=18.4) {  
\_root.formData.klass = “B”;  
\_root.sStartavgift = 400;  
} else if (hcp\<=24.4) {  
\_root.formData.klass = “C”;  
\_root.sStartavgift = 400;  
} else if (hcp\<36.0) {  
\_root.formData.klass = “D”;  
\_root.sStartavgift = 400;  
}  
if (hcp == “0” || hcp \>= 36.1) {  
\_root.hcp.text = “FEL!”;  
\_root.formData.klass = “FEL!”;  
\_root.formData.hcp = “FEL!”;  
\_root.sStartavgift = 0;  
}  
\_root.calcSumma();  
\_root.sKlass = \_root.formData.klass;  
};  
[/AS]

The function checks if formData.klass should be A,B,C or D based on hcp.  
But I want the users to be able to write their hcp (golf handicap) with a comma, since they’re used to it.  
So, before the function start checking what the value of formData.klass should be, I want it to check the hcp to see if there is a comma there and, if there is one, to replace it with a dot so that the function works correctly…

How should I do?  
I’ve searched for “replace letter” “relpace” and so, but didn’t find anything…

Please help… I’m stuck!
