Question

Anyone know if there is an equivalent method in jquery or javascript that matches the prototype toPaddedString method?

Answer 1

There’s nothing to match this in jQuery, but here, I whipped you up a straight Javascript version of the Prototype method:

function toPaddedString(number, length, radix) {
    var string = number.toString(radix || 10),
        slength = string.length;
    for (var i=0; i<(length - slength); i++) string = '0' + string;
    return string;
}
toPaddedString(13, 4); // "0013"
