Number Formatting?

[Terry]

Hi,

I am new the Javascript. I was wondering if there is a pre-built or
pre-written script that can do simple number formatting.

When I do a calculation of 2 floating point numbers, I always end with
with xxxx.xxxxxx. I would like to keep just the first 2 digit, xxxx.xx.

Thanks in advance for your help!

A Google search through the archives of this group
(<URL:http://groups.google.c om/groups?q=group% 3Acomp.lang.jav ascript>)
would turn up many answers, as would looking at the FAQ
(<URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/>) and its linked resources.

If you want to format a currency value, you can find a function at
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demo n.co.uk/js-maths.htm#Money >. Note that it
expects a value in pennies (cents), as currency-related calculations
should be performed with integers, not reals, for accuracy.

Information regarding generic rounding can be found at
