Not until you write it. :)

I've used something like this before:

function formatnumber(Number, Precision) {
  var P = (Precision) ? Math.pow(10,Precision) : 1;
  var Z = "";
  for (var xx=0; xx<Precision; xx++)
    Z += "" + "0";
  var N = (parseInt(Number * P) / P) + Z;
  return N.substring(0, N.indexOf('.') + Precision +1);
}

I just re-wrote this, so I leave it to you for testing.
