Formatting Numbers to Local Settings

I know in JavaScript I can display a date in the local format using toLocaleString(), is there an easy way to do this for a number?

The same function can be applied to numbers. See here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/javascript/javascript_builtin_functions.htm[^].
Here an example:

HTML

<html>
    <body>
        Test number formatting with locale.
    </body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var num = 100234.56789;
        alert(num.toLocaleString());
    </script>
</html>

In my browser with german settings the number is rendered as 100.234,56789, which is exactly the expected behaviour.

Regards,

Manfred

Thanks, I just could not find it; brain fart on my part.
