add 2 numbers and force only 2 decimal places

[oshjosh]

Hi

Thanks for the replies to my last post, I have another small script problem. I am using the script below to add 2 numbers

<script>document.write(24.99+2.99);</script>

when I add some numbers such as the ones in the example I get about 12 numbers after the decimal point, how can I force this to only show 2 decimal numbers?

Thanks in advance

Try this:

<script>document.write( ((24.99*100) + (2.99*100)) / 100 );</script>

Hope this helps,
Dan

Are you thinking of writing an FAQ on the subject? ;o)

Thanks for the idea!
