Question

My question is about to float number in jquery. I looked other questions about it in this site but I couldn’t find which I look.

In part of my code, I used $.post in jquery. I send request to database and fetch data as json format. In my database, some numbers’ format is like 345,54565000000. So, I want to float numbers 5 digit after comma.

Part of my code is :

$.post("http://localhost/ajax.php",
      function(data) {
          var listdata;
          $.each(data, function(i,item){

              listdata += "<td>"+item.number+"</td>";

          });

            $(".result).empty().html(listdata);

    },"json"
);

Some of my trials are like:(which is not worked)

1.)

var number = (item.number).toFixed(5);
listdata += "<td>"+number+"</td>"; 

2.)

var number=item.number;
var new_number = number.toFixed(5);
listdata += "<td>"+new_number+"</td>"; 

Thank you for your replies.

Answer 1

var number = 345.54565000000​;

var parsedNumber = parseFloat(parseInt(number*100000,10)/100000);

FIDDLE;

If that seperator is in fact a comma, you’ll have to replace it with .replace(',', '.')
