I wonder if any one can help me, I've been searching the net for a javascript script, which when you type in any figure it will return that figure in written words.

For example: 200.10 returns two hundred dollars and ten cents,

and : 1.1 = one dollar and one cent (note single and plural dollar/dollars and cent/cents)

I've found scripts in PHP & VB but as I know less about these then javascript, can I convert these to javascript (easy) ?

I don't know where to start, I'm not that great with javascript but could modify and change a working script to fit my bill.

Many Thanks for any help.

yes you can convert the script to javascript. If you do not know how, post the code wrapping it within [code] tags and someone here will translate for you.

You can post either script, however more people here know PHP than VB, so chances are you would have a faster turn around if you posted in PHP, although since there isnt a VB section maybe there are VB addicts here and just weren't speaking up.

open notepad and copy this in and save as towords.js:

add this to the <head> of the page:



<script type="text/javascript" src="towords.js">
</script>


and where you want your conversions, use this:



<form name="test"><input type="text" name="inum" value="" size="18"><br><br><input type="button" value="To Words" onclick="test.rnum.value = toWords(test.inum.value);"><br><br><textarea name="rnum" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea></form>


This was found here (http://javascript.about.com/library/bltoword.htm)

I edited it slightly to add the "dollars and cents" part.

Many Thanks Boogyman & Blizzard

1stly Blizzard can you just double check the "towords.js" script you posted as I think you may have posted the original and dollar & cents are not coming up but I do like the script nice and short.
And I must say thanks for adding the other code as it helps me to have a working model to play with and then I can pull it to bits and see how it works, thats how I leaned to fix bikes and cars, the good thing with codes you don't end up with a garage full of bits.


2ndly Boogyman this is the best script I've come across bit long winded but will do the job nicely.

Much appreciated

Steve

I will double check ASAP.. I guess I should test my own posts before getting away from it, eh?

I used to be REALLY bad at that..

(not my fault, I learned it from Twey :p )
