Rails-like number_with_delimiter in javascript

number_with_delimiter.js

Number.prototype.number_with_delimiter = function(delimiter) {
    var number = this + '', delimiter = delimiter || ',';
    var split = number.split('.');
    split[0] = split[0].replace(
        /(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))/g,
        '$1' + delimiter
    );
    return split.join('.');    
};

Thanks for posting. It'd be great if rails shipped with javascript versions of most of the view helpers...

Thank you for sharing! This is exactly what I want.
