How can I correctly format currency using jquery?

Question

I do not need a mask, but I need something that will format currency(in all browsers) and not allow for any letters or special char\'s to be typed. Thanks for the help

Another option (If you are using ASP.Net razor view) is, On your view you can do

@String.Format("{0:C}", Model.total)

This would format it correctly. note (item.total is double/decimal)

if in jQuery you can also use Regex

$(".totalSum").text('$' + parseFloat(total, 10).toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,").toString());
