[Javascript] How do I convert "FF" to 255?

[TomMallard]

All you need to do is prefix "0x" to the hex number and then use parseInt()
or parseFloat().

alert(parseInt(0xFF))

escape(var) to get the hexadecimal value, and unescape(var) to get the
decimal value.

>        Hello. How can I get an highlighted version of a color.That is, how
can I find the code of a color wich is a lighter version of another color.I
tryed to do this myself but I need, for instance, to know how to get a
number from a string representing an hexadecimal number.I could then add
some value to RGB components and use RGB(newred, newgreen, newblue) to get
that color.I found Hex function that returns a string representing the
hexadecimal convertion of a number.Is there an inverse function to turn a
string into a number?Something like afunc("FF") that returns 255. Thanks
