This may not be what you are looking for, but I wrote a little check writer
script for a bank once that translated the number column into dollars and
cents as words on the client machine. This script was written pre IE4 before
you could declair an array object by reference. All that the first function
does is declaire the array object for moneyobj, the rest of the script does
the work when you pass it a float or decimal number.
-- script --

printMoney += one[hundreds] + ' thousand ';
