How to remove formatted number at submit form ?

  $("#meteranFormat").autoNumeric("init", {
    unformatOnSubmit: true,
  });
});

*note , i dont know if this plugin deprecated or not.

Answer 1

First and foremost, the AutoNumeric version you are using is deprecated for about 6 years. It would be better to use the newer version described on docs.autonumeric.org.

With that version, you do not need the jQuery dependency anymore, and to remove the format while submitting the form, you can use formSubmitNumericString() (see all the form-related functions).
