Use of ISF to format a number with decimal places

Version 6.07
Oracle 9i
IE6 and IE7

I was wondering if anyone knows the syntax to format a text field into a number with decimal places. (using Javascript not the configuration page)

I tried the syntax below and get a "object not supported" error.

serviceForm.DICTIONARY.FIELD.setFieldValue[(100)}.fixed(2)

Thank you
Daniel

PROBLEM:
Is there a supported java function to format a string into a dollar value?

Even though the fields are money, it shows as 1000 I want to show the number as either $1000.00 or 1000.00

SOLUTION:
Unfortunately, there is no built-in javascript funtion to format a string to currency. Howe
