[removed] Easier way to format numbers? [closed]

Answer 1

Just finished up a js library for formatting numbers Numeral.js. It handles decimals, dollars, percentages and even time formatting.

Answer 2

There's the NUMBERFORMATTER jQuery plugin, details below:

https://code.google.com/p/jquery-numberformatter/

From the above link:

This plugin is a NumberFormatter plugin. Number formatting is likely familiar to anyone who's worked with server-side code like Java or PHP and who has worked with internationalization.

EDIT: Replaced the link with a more direct one.

Answer 3

Here's the YUI version if anyone's interested:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/docs/YAHOO.util.Number.html

var str = YAHOO.util.Number.format(12345, { thousandsSeparator: ',' } );

Answer 4

Also try dojo.number which has built-in localization support. It is a much closer analog to Java's NumberFormat/DecimalFormat

Answer 5

No, there is no built-in support for number formatting, but googling will turn up loads of code snippets that will do this for you.

EDIT: I missed the last sentence of your post. Try http://code.google.com/p/jquery-utils/wiki/StringFormat for a jQuery solution.
