Generic functions:

formatNumber(numberString, options) - Takes a plain number as a string (e.g. '1002.0123') and returns a string of the given format options.

To achieve the old way of combining parsing and formatting to keep say a input field always formatted to a given format after it has lost focus you'd simply use a combination of the functions.

e.g.

$("#salary").blur(function(){
     $(this).parseNumber({format:"#,###.00", locale:"us"});
     $(this).formatNumber({format:"#,###.00", locale:"us"});
});

The syntax for the formatting is:
0 = Digit
# = Digit, zero shows as absent
. = Decimal separator
- = Negative sign
, = Grouping Separator
% = Percent (multiplies the number by 100)

For example, a format of "#,###.00" and text of 4500.20 will display as "4.500,20" with a locale of "de", and "4,500.20" with a locale of "us"

As of now, the only acceptable locales are

• Arab Emirates -> "ae"
• Australia -> "au"
• Austria -> "at"
• Brazil -> "br"
• Canada -> "ca"
• China -> "cn"
• Czech -> "cz"
• Denmark -> "dk"
• Egypt -> "eg"
• Finland -> "fi"
• France -> "fr"
• Germany -> "de"
• Greece -> "gr"
• Great Britain -> "gb"
• Hong Kong -> "hk"
• India -> "in"
• Israel -> "il"
• Japan -> "jp"
• Russia -> "ru"
• South Korea -> "kr"
• Spain -> "es"
• Sweden -> "se"
• Switzerland -> "ch"
• Taiwan -> "tw"
• Thailand -> "th"
• United States -> "us"
• Vietnam -> "vn"
