Displaying A Number With 2 Places Beyong the Decimal Point 1

[Skittle]

I have a script which reads through a set of numbers
that can have a value up to two place beyond the decimal point ( eg. 1.99, 1.9, 1 etc. ). When I display these numbers as a list on my html page generated by my asp script, they do not line up on the decimal point. Example:-

10.9
1.7
250.89
20.71
78.1
11

Is there a clever way of forcing a number to be written to Response.Write a number with padded two decimal places ( so that 1.7 become 1.70, 11 become 11.00 etc ). the only alternative I can think of is to concatonate a string verion of the number with '0' or '.00' and reposnse.write the string instead of the number which seems a bit poor.

Many thanks

hi,
do this:
number=10.9
strn=split(cstr(number),".&quot
newstr=strn(0)
if len(strn(1))=1 then
newstr=newstr+"."+strn(1)+"."+"0"
else
newstr=newstr+"."+strn(1)
end if
response.write newstr




Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Or try this ...

Dim Number

Number = 10.9
Response.Write FormatNumber(Number, 2)

The second parameter to FormatNumber is the number of decimal places that should be shown.

This will work as VBScript within ASP executing on the server.

Or you could use FormatNumber(num, decimal places) -
