I don't think jQuery itself has any string padding functions (which is what you're looking for). It's trivial to do, though:

function pad(value, width, padchar) {

    while (value.length < width) {
        value += padchar;
    }
    return value;
}

Edit The above is great for strings, but for your specific numeric situation, rosscj2533's answer is the better way to go.
