JS 1.5 has Number.toFixed() and Number.toExponential()

You can use
number.toString()
to get a string representation or
number.toString(16)
to get a hexadecimal string representation of a number value.
In newer JavaScript implementations there are also further functions such as
numer.toFixed(2)
or
number.toExponential(2)
See the JavaScript documentation here:

This has been asked (for) before, therefore the beginning of an approach
of an ECMAScript compliant s?printf(3) implementation can be found here:

<http://pointedears.de/scripts/string.js>, format()

Comments targeting the script code are welcome.
