NumberFormat(round:x) won't display anything less than 3 decimals

DonaldLund — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:52:28 GMT

Does anyone know why using this construct in an infowindow won't allow me to display anything less than three decimal places?

Here is the complete construct:

var resTemplate = new InfoTemplate();

resTemplate.setTitle("Customer Residence");

resTemplate.setContent(

"<b>Distance to Store: </b>${MI_TO_STORE:NumberFormat(round:2)} miles");

I have tried using both 2 and 1 and even changing the format of my data layer before publishing it to 2 decimal places, but the infowindow insists that it give me three decimal places.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insights.

Donald,

The proper format is this:

${MI_TO_STORE:NumberFormat(places:2)}

it is places not round.

Thank you. That did the trick. I'm almost sure I saw example code where the code listing used 'round', but 'places' did actually display the desired 2 decimal places.

Yes. Here's where I saw 'round' in use:

Format dates in an info window | ArcGIS API for JavaScript

I'm not arguing that it should work, just saying a search on 'arcgis javascript api round' led me there.

Thanks again
