javascript tofixed is not a function

// toFixed only exists on numbers. 
// Trying to use it on another data type like strings will not work
// Example

let num = 1.23456;
num.toFixed(2); // 1.23

num = String(num);
num.toFixed(2); // Uncaught TypeError: num.toFixed is not a function

// Solutions
// Convert your string to a number by:
//  - prepending it with a +
//		e.g. (+num).toFixed(2);
//	- using parseInt
//		e.g. parseInt(num).toFixed(2)
//	- using Number
//		e.g. Number(num).toFixed(2)

                                    toFixed isn't a method of non-numeric variable types. In other words, Low and High can't be fixed because when you get the value of something in Javascript, it automatically is set to a string type. Using parseFloat() (or parseInt() with a radix, if it's an integer) will allow you to convert different variable types to numbers which will enable the toFixed() function to work.

var Low  = parseFloat($SliderValFrom.val()),
    High = parseFloat($SliderValTo.val());
