RE: Numberformat question.
I've been playing with a few different masks, but anytime I set up a decimal mask it's forcing all the places, so for example, if I have the mask set at ",9$99.", the numbers get formatted (using the examples I cited originally) $45.9000, $9.9900, $2.8950 and $0.4585. What I need is $45.90, $9.99, $2.985 and $0.4585.

RE: Numberformat question.
Oy, that almost merits being put into a custom tag with as many times as I'm going to have to call it! I had come to the conclusion that I could do something similar to this, but was hoping that there was a way to do it dynamically within the numberformat function. I guess there isn't. Thanks!

A shorter version;
#NumberFormat(Item,"$999,999.#RepeatString("9",Len(ListLast(Item,".")))#")#
Or, if you always want the 2 digits on the end;
#NumberFormat(Item,"$999,999.#RepeatString("9",Max(2,Len(ListLast(Item,"."))
))#")#
I haven't tested this, it's just typed...

RE: NumberFormat question
Anyone know why I would get a value of 0 in an input text
field when I do this against a numeric column which has a
null in the database?
input type="text" name="testval" value="#NumberFormat("#varname#")"
ColdFusion doesn't recognize null as a value, so it converts it to an empty
string. The NumberFormat function converts the empty string to zero. That
shouldn't come too much as a surprise, because we expect the output of the
function to be numeric.
On a side note, you don't need to use so many pound signs and quotes. You
could do this instead:
input type="text" name="testval" value="#NumberFormat(varname)#"

Is the database field itself defined as type "text" or "number" ?
