Format Numbers in Javascript

[TheBigB]

hi all ,

I need a little help on a script...

I have a number from 0 to 300.
What I want to do is format them to like 030, 004, or 250.
I've tried to use string.length and stuff to put those extra zero's in front, but I can't get it to work...

Anyone?

thnx in advance

I can't remember now if JavaScript used switch like PHP does, so just an IF structure here:

function padlen(numstr) {
    if(numstr.length > 2) return numstr;
    if(numstr.length == 2) return '0' + numstr;
    if(numstr.length == 1) return '00' + numstr;
    return '000';
}

And untested, of course.

thnx for the reply but the function only seems to return 000
