Well thank you very much, sir.

Nice project. Check also some of the i18n classes in Google's Closure package (http://code.google.com/closure/library/), for more comprehensive routines and support for almost any currency.

Sweet, thanks for the link - I'll read through it and see if I can improve or expand the library.

Thanks, for me it makes sense to use the smallest unit available as the main unit, i.e. cents not dollars / pence not pounds.

What are you using for minifying the javascript?

josscrowcroft3• 15 years ago

YUI - via http://refresh-sf.com/yui/ when I'm in a hurry.

Why, did you find errors, or room for improvement?

Just curious. I'm not really a JS person

I think it'd also be useful if you included an enumeration of the common currency symbols. For example, accounting.DOLLAR, accounting.EURO, etc.

josscrowcroft3• 15 years ago

Yeah, that could work actually - I've purposefully left everything to do with symbols (apart from the standard dollar sign) up to the developer, to avoid bloat, but I can see a use case for the most common ones (along with default formatting for said symbols)
