The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

International numeric and currency formatting made easy

" ₩ith In₮€r₦a₮io₦£ ₡urr€₦¢¥ $¥mbo₤ $u₱₱or₮"

The client can only enter numeric values and decimal separator - plug-in automatically places a thousand separator as they type.

Supports multiple international numeric and currency formats including those used in most of Europe, North and South America, Asia and India's (lakhs). The varied formats are controlled by a simple META DATA code that is placed in the input tag. Whole numbers and decimal accuracy are defined in this code. This plug-in also allows multiple formats to reside on the same page.

Supports nine different rounding methods (Round-Half-Up Symmetric & Asymmetric, Round-Half-Down Symmetrical & Asymmetric, Round-Half-Even "Bankers Rounding", Round Up, Round Down, Round to Ceiling & Round to Floor)

NumberFormatter - International Support for Number Formatting

Submitted by mabernethy on January 9, 2009 - 4:18pm

This plugin is a NumberFormatter plugin. Number formatting is likely familiar to anyone who's worked with server-side code like Java or PHP and who has worked with internationalization. For example, a number that we would write in the US as "1,250,500.75" would be written differently in different countries: "1.250.500,75" in Germany, "1 250 500,75" in France, and "1'250'500.75" in Switzerland, and "125,0500.75" in Japan. The number is exactly the same, but it's just written using a different format when presented to users of the web application.

Here's a typical use case for what I'm describing. You have an input field in your web application that asks a person for their salary. In the US, the user can type in a varied forms of input - "$65000", "65,000", "65000", "65,000.00". All these numbers are exactly the same, but we want to control how these numbers look on the screen.

Here's an example of how you'd use this plugin.

$("#salary").blur(function(){
