Question

I am using JQuery autogeocomplete and basically the lat_id and the lng_id strings are too long after the .

I need to set it so it’s no more that 6 digits after the dot.

For example:

Before:
-1.1501888001110125
After
-1.150188

Is this possible or if not, is there a way round it?

Answer 1

try this :

var mystring = "-1.1501888001110125";
var newstring = mystring.substr(0,(mystring.indexOf('.') + 7));

(its 7 because of “.” plus 6 characters)

Working example here

trimming an input :

$('#inputid').change(function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    var $thisval = $this.val();
    if ($thisval.indexOf('.') > 0 && $thisval.length > 7) {
        $this.val($thisval.substr(0, ($thisval.indexOf('.') + 7)));
    }
});​
