Use

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

var result = num.toFixed(2);

where 2 is the number of decimal places.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

function InvoiceSubTotal(form)

    {

    var a = (form.assignmentinvoice.value != '') ? eval(form.assignmentinvoice.value) : 0;

    var b = (form.printinginvoice.value != '') ? eval(form.printinginvoice.value) : 0;

    var c = (form.shippinginvoice.value != '') ? eval(form.shippinginvoice.value) : 0;

    var total = (form.invoicesubtotal.value = a + b + c);

    var result = num.toFixed(2);

    form.invoicesubtotal.value = total;

    form.invoicesubtotal.value = result;

}

One mistake is in the following line:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

var total = (form.invoicesubtotal.value = a + b + c);

Change that to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

var total = a + b + c;

Also, num was only an example. Replace that with total. Why set the invoice subtotal to both total and then result. Just set it to result.

One final thing: don't use eval. Use parseFloat instead:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var a = (form.assignmentinvoice.value != '') ? parseFloat(form.assignmentinvoice.value) : 0;
 

parseFloat will return NaN if not a number. In that case check using isNaN:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

if (isNaN(a)) a = 0;

or you could just include it when setting a, b, and c if you like your cryptic coding!

One final, final thing is that in your original post, your html is incorrect. The Javascript goes in the head section but html comes before head like:
[HTML]<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>[/HTML]
