convert decimal to hex 1

snotmare · Jun 9, 2006

Greetings!

Perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough, but I can't find any simple method to convert a decimal number to hex.

So, if I input "16777215", I want to return "FFFFFF".

Can someone show me what I'm missing here? Thanks!

You could use:
[tt]
hex_string = dec_number.toString(16);
[/tt]

var h = hD.substr(d&15,1);
while(d>15) {d>>=4;h=hD.substr(d&15,1)+h;}
document.getElementById("myTxt2").value = h;
}
function h2d(h) {return parseInt(h,16);} </script>
</head>


<body>
<table border="1">
<input type="text" value="" id="myTxt">
<input type="text" value="" id="myTxt2">
<button onclick="d2h(document.getElementById('myTxt').value)">convert</button>

</body>
</html>

Function was taken from

I don't know the answer but my good friend Google does.

Excellent TonyGroves, I knew there had to be something like that out there!
