lional 0 Posted November 4 Hi I am busy with a word press and I need to add leading zeros to a number in javascript so that for example 9 becomes 0.00009, and 30 becomes 0.00030 and 560 becomes 0.00560. I am very new to Javascript. I have been looking at the pad left functions. Is this the correct function or is there another one. Any help will be much appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barand 1,389 Posted November 4 Have you considered dividing the number by 100000? var n = 560; n = n / 100000; document.write(n.toFixed(5)); // 0.00560 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
