Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] Javascript eval()

Yeah Brad, you can do this to make a number 2 digits: Total=Math.round(Total*100)/100; ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Robertson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 2:34 AM Subject: Witango-Talk: [OT] _javascript_ eval() I wrote a simple _javascript_ to calculate unit * qty and produce a line for each row that is dynamically created.  The problem is that I can’t get the extTotal value formatted as 2 digit decimal.  Apparently, the eval() function doesn’t take any precision nor can I call a function from within the eval function.  I am beating my head against the computer trying to figure out what seems relatively simple…  Any _javascript_s gurus have any thoughts???         <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='_javascript_'> <!-- Raise the Bat shields!   function calculateLine() {   // for this script I hard coded the 2 // var rows=@@local$rowcnt   var taxLineArray = new Array();               for (var i = 0; i <  2 ; i++)                         {                                     cnt = i +1;                                     taxLineArray[i] = (eval("document.bform.prodTotal" + cnt + ".value") * eval("document.bform.unit" + cnt + ".value"));                                     eval("document.bform.extTotal" + cnt + ".value=" + taxLineArray[i]);                         } }   // down shields! --> </SCRIPT>     <FORM NAME="bform" ACTION="" METHOD=POST > <input type=text value="1.99" name="prodTotal1"> <input type=text value=".5" name="unit1" onBlur='calculateLine();'> <input type=text value="" name="extTotal1"> <P> <input type=text value="1.99" name="prodTotal2"> <input type=text value=".5" name="unit2" onBlur='calculateLine();'> <input type=text value="" name="extTotal2"> </form>           I have tried to format the number before the eval() function, but the eval function looses the function.  I have also tried calling the following functions..   function cent(amount){             return (amount == Math.floor(amount)) ? amount + '.00' : (  (amount*10 == Math.floor(amount*10)) ? amount + '0' : amount); }     function clnNum(amount) {             return cent(Math.round(amount*Math.pow(10,2))/Math.pow(10,2)); }           ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
