date format

[HandersonVA]

document.testform.itemprice.value = itemprice;

when I set the value as above, the output shows like this, 25.0200 and
it should be
25.02

how can I make it happen?

[HandersonVA]

sorry, the title should be dollar format instead of date format.

Variable name with the same name as a Form Input? IE probably loves
that.....

Strip the trailing zeroes?

Somewhat naive as a solution ; it answers the question as asked, but
fails to foresee the question that is likely to follow unless the OP
reads newsgroup FAQ 4.6 (via sig line 2) (in which after the first link
should now be <i>ff.</i>).

Somewhat naive as a solution ;

There is nothing "naive" about a solution that does precisely what the
OP asked for.
it answers the question as asked,
Then the only thing "naive" about it is your response.
but fails to foresee the question that is likely to follow unless the OP
reads newsgroup FAQ 4.6 (via sig line 2) (in which after the first link
should now be <i>ff.</i>).

That is a naive belief on your part.
