Question

I have a javascript code for textbox that will put commas on in digits like (11,23,233)

 mTextbox.Attributes.Add("OnKeyUp", "javascript:this.value=Comma(this.value);")

function Comma(Num) {

        Num += '';
        Num = Num.replace(',', ''); Num = Num.replace(',', ''); Num = Num.replace(',', '');
        Num = Num.replace(',', ''); Num = Num.replace(',', ''); Num = Num.replace(',', '');
        x = Num.split('.');
        x1 = x[0];
        x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
        var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
        while (rgx.test(x1))
            x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
        return x1 + x2;
    } 

Now same here I need to restrict user to enter not morethan 5 digits after decimal (ex:

Allow: 12,23,221.34323

Not Allow: 12,23,232.232423

I can change above javascript to work that?

Not elegant or tested but this should work…

function Comma( Num ) {

    var period = Num.indexOf('.');

    // if you want to just fail...
    if ( Num.length > (period + 6)) throw "too many after decimal point";

    if ( period != -1 ) {
        Num += '00000';
        Num = Num.substr( 0, (period + 6));
    }

    // might want to replace all commas->'' before parsing,
    // this will remove all trailing zeros
    Num = parseFloat( Num.replace( ',', '') );

    ....your stuff

}
