Answer 1

A bit of voodoo can implement your own number formatting. You could build this into String.prototype, but I didnt want that, since its localized.

function reverse(str) {
    return str.split('').reverse().join(''); 
}

function num2str(num) {
    var str = num+"";
    // european
    // return reverse(reverse(str.replace('.',',')).replace(/\d{3}/g,'$&.').replace(/\.$/,''));
    // american
    return reverse(reverse(str).replace(/\d{3}/g,'$&,').replace(/\,$/,''));
}

and then its

> console.log(25000.45)
> 25,000.45
