How to convert decimal to hexadecimal in JavaScript

Question

How do you convert decimal values to their hexadecimal equivalent in JavaScript?

Answer 1

In case you're looking to convert to a 'full' JavaScript or CSS representation, you can use something like:

  numToHex = function(num) {
    var r=((0xff0000&num)>>16).toString(16),
        g=((0x00ff00&num)>>8).toString(16),
        b=(0x0000ff&num).toString(16);
    if (r.length==1) { r = '0'+r; }
    if (g.length==1) { g = '0'+g; }
    if (b.length==1) { b = '0'+b; }
    return '0x'+r+g+b;                 // ('#' instead of'0x' for CSS)
  };

  var dec = 5974678;
  console.log( numToHex(dec) );        // 0x5b2a96
