Formatting numerical output
How do I go about applying formatting to the result of a numerical calculation in a Javascript form?
ie - I want 150000 to display as $150,000
The $ is easy enough, I can apply that outside the output field but how could I get the comma in there?

Whoo! Google rocks. Man. That wasn't the top result, but it was the fourth unique site for javascript+money -- it would probably be first for javascript+currency.
Anyway, lol, hope that helps.

ooh boy. That's gonna be tough for a scripting bonehead like me to graft onto the existing script. I've got about a dozen results to apply this to
Thanks for finding it though. I thought that there might be a simple property that I wasn't aware of.

It's a function, so you would add it around the other functions.
If your result is dosomething(input,input,input), then you would do this:
currencyfunction(dosomething(input,input,input))
Of course, it's a little bit more complex than this, but not too much.
Post a link to a sample of your code and I'm sure that someone (maybe even me!) can help you integrate it.

Trial and error is a wonderful thing!
I got it to work - thanks Suzanne.
