Thanks for the suggestion. I saw that link before but dismissed it for some reason. I guess I assumed it was doing something else. In any event, I just tried it and it DID come up with different output but still not what it should be. I may very well be using it wrong though. It's probably obvious that I'm no Java programmer. I'm basically just taking what I know about programming in general and the syntax of JavaScript and doing the best I can here.
This is what I have from your suggestion and what it displays. import java.text.*; import java.math.BigDecimal; public class dollarFormattingTest { public static void main(String[] args) { DecimalFormat dollarFormat = new DecimalFormat("$0.00"); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.815))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.825))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.835))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.845))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.855))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.865))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.875))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.885))); System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(new java.math.BigDecimal(71.895))); } } This is the output now... $71.81 $71.83 $71.83 $71.84 $71.86 $71.86 $71.88 $71.89 $71.89 That's either extremely weird... or I'm completely missing something obvious. :-/ -----Original Message----- From: Denny Valliant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2006 1:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Java help Could this be it? http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=736383&messageID=4230346 On 10/6/06, Bobby Hartsfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I should also mention that I tried this as well... ..... -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
