[Javascript] Truncating floating point values

[Mckinney, Lori K]

Cutter,

Can you do something like this?  

function fixAtTwo(anynum) 
{
	var numStr=anynum.toString();
	var decPos = numStr.indexOf(".");	
	if ( decPos == -1 )
		return numStr + ".00";
	else
	{
		// add two zeros to get at least two digits at the 
		// end of the string in case it ends at the decimal
		numStr += "00";	
		return numStr.substr(0,decPos+3);
	}
}

Hope that works for you.  

Lori

P.S. By the way, hope your little girl is doing well.

How do you truncate a floating point value at a specific decimal place? I'm 
not trying to round the number, just cut it off after two decimal places...
