    Im having trouble with a piece of java_script....it needs  one more line
     
     dcell= "+" + addLeadingZeros(dcell,12);
    if (DED_DED_AMT< 0 ){
     dcell = DED_DED_AMT;
     dcell= "-" + addLeadingZeros(dcell,12);
    }
     
     
    I need to display numbers in a format of +000000001.23.
     
    Certain numbers will be negative and need to be displayed as -00000001.23
     
    The code does everything right except when a number is negative it
    is displaying -0000000-1.23
     
    Can anyone help me with the line or 2  of code I need?

      I think what you are doing is correct except that once you have determined the amount to be negative you need to convert it to a postive number before adding the zeros.

      dcell = DED_DED_AMT * -1;

      Hope this helps.

        You could also use the absolute function - abs().

          I tried that and got -10.00 (no padding) on my line.

            I did a quick test in Design Studio to be sure and the example below returned the results you desire. (-000000010.45)
            Hope this Helps.

            var dblNegative = -10.45;
            var dblPositive = dblNegative * -1;
            dblPostive = "-" + addLeadingZeros(dblPositive,12);


            function addLeadingZeros(number,length)
            {
            var str = '' + number;
            while (str.length < length)
            {
            str = '0' + str;
            }

            return str;

            }
