[RESOLVED] decimal format

Hi,

I'm currently using the following code to computer a % , it is working fine, but I only want max two digits after the dot like this xxxxxxxxx.XX .

PHP Code:

---

         var P = parseFloat($('#P_TextBox1').val());
            var A = parseFloat($('#A_TextBox3').val());
            var total_surch = ((A / 100) * P);
            $('#T_TextBox2').val(total_surch); 


---

I would appriciate any tip on how to accomplish this.


Thank You

Hi there met0555,

have you tried...

Code:

---


var total_surch = ((A / 100) * P).toFixed(2);

---

ok, I tried your suggestion, it worked but it also created another problem. Normally after running the code i posted, i will add all the results together

var final_total = (total_surch + total_money .....)

But now when i try to add up everything, it is treating it as a string rather than numeric values, so it is adding like this '0.1056.456.3' so basically '+' is same as '&' here, I guess i will need to fins a way to convert it back to a numeric format.

thx

Hi there met0555,

try...

Code:

---



var total_surch = parseFloat(((A / 100) * P).toFixed(2));

Hi there met0555,

note that the "toFixed()" function rounds up the number so that 68. 129 would become 68. 13.

If that is unacceptable, then try this...

Code:

---


var total_surch = ((A / 100) * P);

var S=total_surch.toString().split('.');

total_surch=parseFloat(S[0]+'.'+S[1].substr(0,2));

---

Thanks for my first issue i used your suggestion, and for my second problem i just used
parseFloat(total_surch) + parseFloat(total_money .....)

Thanks

No problem, you're very welcome. ;)
