I am using an e-merce platform that renders the shopping cart as below inside a single div, and I would like to remove everything after the number of items in the cart, starting with the "," through to the end of "Cart".

The number of items and the Total could be any value, so I would need something that wouldn't rely upon a set variable. This would also have to work dynamically as items could be added to the cart after the page loads and would need to update accordingly.

As I am rather new to Javascript and JQuery, I would very much appreciate any help that includes the full script.

1 item(s), Total: $25.19 View Cart

• javascript
• jquery
• replace

• 1 var con = $("#cartelementid"); con.text(con.text().split(',')[0]); – Shmiddty Commented Nov 26, 2012 at 21:10
• 1 there should be a return value containing number of items, you shouldnt have to make the split. Investigate the api for what you're using. – SpYk3HH Commented Nov 26, 2012 at 21:11
• To avoid splitting you could always do THIS – adeneo Commented Nov 26, 2012 at 21:18

Try

var text = "1 item(s), Total: $25.19 View Cart";
text = text.split(",")[0];

With a regex replace - /,.*/ will find a ma followed by any number of other characters:

var text = "1 item(s), Total: $25.19 View Cart";

text = text.replace(/,.*/, "");

"This would also have to work dynamically as items could be added to the cart after the page loads and would need to update accordingly."

Well then you'd need to call the above code from wherever new items are added.
