No, the separator is always a dot (.) in a javascript Number. So 7,75 evaluates to 75, because a , invokes left to right evaluation (try it in a console: x=1,x+=1,alert(x), or more to the point var x=(7,75); alert(x);). If you want to convert a Dutch (well, not only Dutch, let's say Continental European) formatted value, it should be a String. You could write an extension to the String prototype, something like:

String.prototype.toFloat = function(){

      return parseFloat(this.replace(/,(d+)$/,'.$1'));

};

//usage

'7,75'.toFloat()+'7,75'.toFloat(); //=> 15.5

Note, if the browser supports it you can use Number.toLocaleString

console.log((3.32).toLocaleString(nl-NL));

console.log((3.32).toLocaleString(en-UK));
