    In Java you would solve this by using a double instead of a float. In JavaScript you cannot make that choice so it is probably easiest to use cent values in your scripts and divide by 100 to present values. S.

    If you are dealing with kind of accounting stuff, you should use BigDecimal class. Mithat

    You can always use something like this: function formatNumber(number) { return Math.round (number *100) /100; }

    Its mainly because of inability to represent 0.1 exactly in binary. The problem is not with java,same result will be observed in c,c++,basic,pascal,etc..... Regards, Sanket
