I wrote this little snippet that should format money but its failing on the period for some reason. It keeps adding them every time ...any idea why and is there a better way of doing this

$(".dollar").blur(function() {
    var curval = $(this).val(); 
    if ($(this).val().indexOf("$") != 0) {
        $(this).val("$" + $(this).val());
    } 
    if ($(this).val().indexOf(".") != 0){
        $(this).val($(this).val() + ".00");
    }
});

• 2 indexOf returns -1 if the string is not found. – gen_Eric Commented Mar 8, 2011 at 20:52
• You are checking if the index of the . is not 0, that is, on the LHS of the value. this would only match something like .50, I suspect you instead simply want to check if a . exists, in which case just check ` indexOf('.') != -1` – idbentley Commented Mar 8, 2011 at 20:53

I wrote a different dollar formatting snippet that will take any number (1, 1.6, 2.52, 8.2472) and automatically format it to dollar notation ($1.00, $1.60, $2.52, $8.24):

$('.dollars').blur(function(e){
    var curVal = parseFloat($(this).val()),
        curInt = parseInt(curVal, 10),
        curDec = parseInt(curVal*100, 10) - parseInt(curInt*100, 10);

    curDec = (curDec < 10) ? "0" + curDec : curDec;

    if (!isNaN(curInt) && !isNaN(curDec)) {
        $(this).val("$"+curInt+"."+curDec);
    }
});

See it in action here.

You may take a look at the jquery globalization plugin.

The "indexOf" function returns the index into the string. I think you should be testing to see if the result is less than zero.

if ($(this).val().indexOf("$") < 0) {
    $(this).val("$" + $(this).val());
} 
if ($(this).val().indexOf(".") < 0){
    $(this).val($(this).val() + ".00");

edit oops — I had it backwards :-) Less than zero, not greater than or equal to. The latter is what you'd do to find out if the character is in the string, but your code needs to know when it's not in the string.
