[RESOLVED] six decimals after the period

[Divyakedia]

I have a unit converter and since the resultant number can be small or big, the requirement is to have only six decimals after the period. Like: 9680.123456

I have used this successfully:
v4 = parseFloat(Math.round(v2 * 100) / 100).toFixed(6);
document.MainForm.answer.value = (v4);

where v2 is the resulting number and v4 is displayed.

Issue is when the resulting number doesn't have decimal numbers but only 0 it is still displayed as:
98261.000000

I don't want these zeroes!! Pls help

Seems to me that what you really need to do is to round to the nearest millionth, rather than using toFixed(). This way, there will never be trailing zeros, and the number will never be more than 6 digits after the decimal:

v4 = Math.round(v2 * 1000000) / 1000000;
document.MainForm.answer.value = (v4);

It worked!! thanks soooooo much

No problem at all! I know sometimes when I'm working on a problem, things get overly complicated and it often helps to have a fresh perspective to simplify it again.
