Reuben-

Why not use a function to pull the number from the "<sup>400</sup>" string?
Something like:

function getNumber(str){
	// get position of first closing angle bracket (0-based)
	var fromPos = str.indexOf(">") + 1;

	// get position of last opening angle bracket
	var toPos = str.lastIndexOf("<");

	// return number in between fromPos and toPos
	return str.substring(fromPos, toPos);
}

alert(getNumber("<sup>40</sup>"));
