Re: Add data to a input box

I realize this sounds basic, but I have been having trouble getting
code that will fill in a text box. What I have is a text box in a
form where a person enters a price in the form "XX.YY" However if its
$50 they may just enter 50 and then I would need the javascript to
detect that they have changed the box with focus and if there is no
decimal, add a decimal and two zeros.

Any code snippits are a point in the right direction would be
appreciated.

<input
onchange="this.value=(+this.value).toFixed(2)">

toFixed() can be a bit buggy, test it thoroughly.

Because toFixed() can be buggy, a more complete solution for producing
formatted numbers is available at:
