Hi

I have some code where I take a number in from an input box, i then call a function which does some calculations and outputs the result to an output box (test field).

Does anyone know how I can get the output formatted to only 2 decimal places.

Thanks in advance

I have a function as follows how can I adapt the above code to work for this output.

function inputtest(form) {
var val = "-" + tonum(form.inField.value);
var result;

if (val <=-6 && val >=-20) {
result = solve_quad(val);
}
else {
if (val<=-20 && val >=-50) {
result = solve_quad2(val);
}
else {
if (val<-50) {
result = solve_quad3(val);
}
}
}

form.outField.value = result;
}


The code I have for the output is as follows


<input type="button" name="btn12" value="Solve" onClick="inputtest(this.form)" />

Hi

For anyone with the same problem I found an easy answer

this works a treat

result=(Math.round(result*100)/100);
