How do I round a number to a specific decimal point value in javascript?

Example: a value of 1.845698. I need Director to convert it to 1.84.

Thank you.

Perhaps you could multiply by 100, then use parseInt(), then divide by 100?

you can use toFixed(2) to round the value to 2 decimal places. you won't get
1.84 though, you'll get 1.85 because the thirde decimal place is 5. 5 or higher
gets rounded up. toFixed technically returns a string, but javascript isn't
strongly typed so that's not really an issue. if you atempt an arithemetic
operation on "1.85" the value is automatically type cast to a number. so
2*"1.85" will return the same as 2*1.85.
