Hi..
i have a checkbox value calculator.but i didnt get the correct value from the check box when am selecting a checkbox.
EX: my 1st check box value is 100.125(One hudred and twentyfive) but when i selecting the checkbox iam getting 100.13,(One hudred and thirty) this means the checkbox value is not giving the last 3 digits and its converting into the next 2 digits value. how can i solve this, anybody can help me.

here is the html example what i mean

Well, in currency transactions there usually only are two decimal (cents) places. And, if there are more, these are usually rounded up or sometimes simply rounded. Your code appears to round up. Here is where it does so:

Code:

  num = Math.floor(num*100+0.50000000001);

That will make 100.125 into 10013. Later division by 100 turns it back to 100.13.

I can't be certain exactly what you are after, but try this substitute:

Code:

// Format a value as currency.
function formatCurrency(num) {
  num = num.toString().replace(/\$|\,/g,'');
  if(isNaN(num))
     num = "0";
  sign = (num == (num = Math.abs(num)));
  num = num.toFixed(3).replace(/(\.\d\d)0+$/, '$1');
  return (((sign)?'':'-') + 'KD' + num);
}

for your current formatCurrency function.
