Hi

My custom number formatting function does not work. It was working fine when the site had a standard client server architecture. However, when we changed to using REST API with javascript and HTML5 the function works for most parts except cases when I need it to display 0's for decimals.

Basically, the function takes arguments a number and number of decimals and, returns the number rounded to the number of decimals passed. Below, I stripped the function to bare minimum, same as I was testing.

<cffunction name="dispCostPeriod" access="remote" returntype="string" output="false" hint="Displays costs for a given period to user">

     <cfargument name="in_decCost" type="numeric" required="yes" />

     <cfargument name="in_iRound" type="numeric" required="yes" />

     <cfset decRoundedNum = NumberFormat(in_decCost, "_." & RepeatString("9",in_iRound))>

     <cfreturn decRoundedNum />

</cffunction>

When I pass 55.00089 and 3, the function returns 55.001.

When I pass 55 or 55.000000 or 55.0000089 and 3, the function returns 55. And, I need 55.000.

I tried both to returntype "string" and "numeric", various masks like _.999, _.000, _.___.

I tried straight return NumberFormat(in_decCost,"_.000").

Nothing works.

I am using CF10 on Windows Server 2008.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gena
