Do not supress leading and ending zeroes

[khue]

I have a fixed length float number for example 99999.99 where 9 is a number from 0 - 9. I want to display all the digit position regardless if it has leading zeroes or ending zeroes.

For example:

function nameX()
{
var x = 00083.10

document.form[0].text1.value = var
}

when displayed, I want to see exactly 00083.10 and not
83.1

How do I tell JavaScript to display leading and ending zeroes?

turn it into a string:

document.form[0].text1.value = new String(x) jaredn@eae.net -

it has to be a string. you can't format numbers like that unless its a string object.

this will work:

var x = "00009.8900";

or you could make it a string by:

var x = new String("008.985200" luciddream@subdimension.com

jared,
document.form[0].text1.value = new String(x)

won't work, because it's already turned it into a number and cut off leading and trailing 0's luciddream@subdimension.com

It's an example I'm giving. What if the value of x is a result of a math calculation or a value passed from another program. I still want to maintian all the digit positions including leading and ending zeroes.

 

[luciddream]

make it a string when its passed.

var x = new String(obj.getResult());

that should maintain the formatting. luciddream@subdimension.com

all,

oops, yeah, my solution didn't work ;-)

lucid,

that probably won't work either, as by the time it is returned, even from another program (such as an ActiveX control) it is turned into a javascript numeric primitive.

khue,
you'll just need a formatting function that takes it and turns it into a string and applies the formatting you desire jaredn@eae.net -

you have to add with another string like '0000000000' and get right side sub string
