How to format number to a currency format using String.localeFormat() using jquery?

Question

Number 56675.456

I want to format this number with Format : {0:$###.##}

using String.localeFormat() in JQuery

Expected Result: $56675.46

`String.localeFormat()` is not a jQuery / JavaScript function (i think its .Net) — Manse, Jul 17 '12 at 07:34

You're probably thinking of the _JavaScript_ `Number.toLocaleString()` function (see the question ManseUK linked to). jQuery doesn't have any number formatting methods (that I know of). — nnnnnn, Jul 17 '12 at 07:42

function convert(num) {    
  return "$" + (num.toFixed(2));
}

convert(56675.456)
