Format numbers in JavaScript similar to C#
Generally
In jQuery
- autoNumeric (a decent number formatter & input helper with locale support for jQuery 1.5+)
- jQuery Format (a clientSide implementation of Java's SimpleDateFormat and NumberFormat)
- jquery-numberformatter (number formatter with locale support)
Yes, there is definitely a way to format numbers properly in javascript, for example:
var val=2489.8237val.toFixed(3) //returns 2489.824 (round up)val.toFixed(2) //returns 2489.82val.toFixed(7) //returns 2489.8237000 (padding)
With the use of variablename.toFixed .
And there is another function toPrecision()

Here's a simple JS function to add commas to an integer number in string format. It will handle whole numbers or decimal numbers. You can pass it either a number or a string. It obviously returns a string.
function addCommas(str) { var parts = (str + "").split("."), main = parts[0], len = main.length, output = "", first = main.charAt(0), i; if (first === '-') { main = main.slice(1); len = main.length; } else { first = ""; } i = len - 1; while(i >= 0) { output = main.charAt(i) + output; if ((len - i) % 3 === 0 && i > 0) { output = "," + output; } --i; } // put sign back output = first + output; // put decimal part back if (parts.length > 1) { output += "." + parts[1]; } return output;}
Here's a set of test cases: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/6y57j/
You can see it being used in this previous jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/sMnjT/. You can find functions that will handle decimal numbers too with a simple Google search for "javascript add commas".
Converting a number to a string can be done many ways. The easiest is just to add it to a string:
var myNumber = 3;var myStr = "" + myNumber; // "3"
Within, the context of your jsFiddle, you'd get commas into the counter by changing this line:
jTarget.text(current);
to this:
jTarget.text(addCommas(current));
