The syntax of parseFloat() function is,

parseFloat(string)

If you string contains spaces then only first number will be returned.

var sVal = '23.25 45.25 68';
var iNum = parseFloat(sVal); //Output will be 23.25

This function will only return "NaN", if the first character cannot be converted to a number.
