No offense, but your question was vague at best, and I have left a question for you to answer for clarification for two days.

Help us to help you, huh? Dean Owen

 

[QuietDean]

Oh, and it's

Math.round() Dean Owen

Not quite...asking to format #.##, isn't really vague...

5.34 is #.## format, 5.356 would be #.### format...

plus, before you posted, I provided an example...asking to convert a number similar to 23556.235662 to
23556.23 Hmmmm...grumpy are we? Regards,

lol yeah I've done that. Big string of identical posts...

The vague part was - 'What are you using?'

You didn't tell us it was JavaScript until your post where you gave up on us. Not fair! Dean Owen

I agree with QD, you have to be very clear when you post a question, we are not mind readers. I had to read 5-6 posts to get to the language you were looking for.

Use the PREVIEW POST option and re-read you post before you submit it. We have no idea what project you are working on, what software you are using (Cold Fusion, FrontPage, etc.), or what language the output is being generated from (PHP, CGI, JavaScript, etc.).

Plus you posted in a forum geared torards CSS/DHMTL and expect us to guess you had a JavaScript question.

So yes, you were vague, then you were rude. Luckily we are very cool people that forgive easily.

Either way, here is your script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
<!--

x = 23556.235662;

x = x * 100;
x = Math.round(x);
x = x / 100;

document.write(x);

// -->
</SCRIPT>
