I can’t figure out what the problem is with this script but it displays a page error when i try to enter information. I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Kim

function dp(price)

{

string = “” + price;

number = string.length – string.indexOf(‘.’);

if (string.indexOf(‘.’) == -1)

return string + ‘.00′;

if (number == 1)

return string + ’00’;

if (number == 2)

return string + ‘0’;

if (number > 3)

return string.substring(0,string.length-number+3);

return string;

}

What’s the error message? I didn’t see anything wrong with the script, and dp seems to do it’s job just fine.

Here’s a tip: Debug client-side JavaScript in Netscape 4.x using the JavaScript Console to view the errors (type java script: in the address bar and hit enter to bring up the console). Netscape does a good job of locating the errors in scripts. And since it’s less forgiving than IE, you’ll often find problems before your users do.

It also saves you having to install MS de######, which can become a real pain if you need to debug ASP pages.
