Multiply dollar amounts and keep the zeros

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi all,

I am trying to do something really simple. I have a product page that multiplies a users quantity input by the price I assign. It works great, but it leaves out the zeros. For example: 1.50 multiplied by 10 displays as 15 instead of 15.00.

Am I going to have to write a bunch of logical statements to fix that or is there an easier way?

I appreaciate any help in advance,
Thank You.

@ai3rulesauthorAug 09.2004 — Hi, thanks for your quick reply. That method isnt working for me, most probably because I am using variables and arrays in the equation.

This is the line I am using:

document.write(pricing[i]*info[0])



where pricing[i] = "1.50" and info[0] is a string split from the location.search(the quantity entered by the user in the previous page).



How can I implement the Number and toFixed(2) method there?



Thanks

@CharlesAug 09.2004 — What [i]exactly[/i] isn't working for you? It would be best if you posted the URL for the page in question. But be aware,really old browsers don't support "Number.toFixed()".
