Question

number format in the form of $ x,xxx.xx using javascript?

Asked by: vihar123

Hi

I am trying to format a given number(eg. 12345) to get the output as 1,234.56

the below function is fine for formatting a number to xxx.xx

function fmtPrice(value)
   {
   result="$"+Math.floor(value)+".";
   var cents=100*(value-Math.floor(value))+0.5;
   result += Math.floor(cents / 10);
   result += Math.floor(cents % 10);
   return result;
   }


I am trying to get a format if the number is in thousands as x,xxx.xx
(If i pass xxxxxx to the above function i am getting only xxxx.xx)


thanks for your help

regards
vihar123

Hi friends,

i dont know why its not executing in my files.

As you are experts,is it possible to add functionality to this function only to get formatted for more than 4 digits?
as i am beginner,i cant understand your code.

If possible please enhance this code to  x,xxx.xx   format.

function fmtPrice(value)
   {
   result="$"+Math.floor(value)+".";
   var cents=100*(value-Math.floor(value))+0.5;
   result += Math.floor(cents / 10);
   result += Math.floor(cents % 10);
   return result;
   }

this function works fine for xxx.xx only
i want x,xxx.xx format.

I am not saying that your code is not right.As i am beginner in javascript,i cant understand your code.

please only enhances the above function (if possible).


thanks
vihar123

Sorry, typo.
Take this:

<script>

function fmtPrice(theVal){
  resVal=Math.round(theVal*100);
  if(resVal<100){
    resVal = resVal/100;
  } else {
    resVal += "";
    resVal = resVal.substr(0,resVal.length-2)+"."+resVal.substr(resVal.length-2);
    for(i=resVal.length-6;i>0;i-=3){
      resVal = resVal.substr(0,i)+","+resVal.substr(i);
    }
  }
  return "$"+resVal;
}


alert(fmtPrice(10000000000.00));
alert(fmtPrice(10000000));
alert(fmtPrice(100.06));
alert(fmtPrice(0.05));

</script>

function fmtPrice(value)
   {
   result="$"+Math.floor(value)+".";
   var cents=100*(value-Math.floor(value))+0.5;
   result += Math.floor(cents / 10);
   result += Math.floor(cents % 10);

<script>
function fmtPrice(value){
  value = value.toString();
  result='$' + value.substring(0,1) +',' + value.substring(1,4) + '.' + value.substring(4,6);
  alert( result );
  }
