function CurrencyFormatted(amount)
{
    var i = parseFloat(amount);
    if(isNaN(i)) { i = 0.00; }
    var minus = '';
    if(i < 0) { minus = '-'; }
    i = Math.abs(i);
    i = parseInt((i + .005) * 100);
    i = i / 100;
    s = new String(i);
    if(s.indexOf('.') < 0) { s += '.00'; }
    if(s.indexOf('.') == (s.length - 2)) { s += '0'; }
    s = minus + s;
    return s;
}

主要部分是插入千个分隔符，可以这样做：

<script type="text/javascript">
  function ins1000Sep(val) {
    val = val.split(".");
    val[0] = val[0].split("").reverse().join("");
    val[0] = val[0].replace(/(\d{3})/g, "$1,");
    val[0] = val[0].split("").reverse().join("");
    val[0] = val[0].indexOf(",") == 0 ? val[0].substring(1) : val[0];
    return val.join(".");
  }

  function rem1000Sep(val) {
    return val.replace(/,/g, "");
  }

  function formatNum(val) {
    val = Math.round(val*100)/100;
    val = ("" + val).indexOf(".") > -1 ? val + "00" : val + ".00";
    var dec = val.indexOf(".");
    return dec == val.length-3 || dec == 0 ? val : val.substring(0, dec+3);
  }
</script>

<button onclick="alert(ins1000Sep(formatNum(12313231)));">

一个简单的选项，通过先反转字符串和基本正则表达式来正确放置逗号。

String.prototype.reverse = function() {
    return this.split('').reverse().join('');
};

Number.prototype.toCurrency = function( round_decimal /*boolean*/ ) {       
     // format decimal or round to nearest integer
     var n = this.toFixed( round_decimal ? 0 : 2 );

     // convert to a string, add commas every 3 digits from left to right 
     // by reversing string
     return (n + '').reverse().replace( /(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, '$1,' ).reverse();
};

这里是XMLilley提供的代码的mootools1.2实现。。。

Number.implement('format', function(decPlaces, thouSeparator, decSeparator){
decPlaces = isNaN(decPlaces = Math.abs(decPlaces)) ? 2 : decPlaces;
decSeparator = decSeparator === undefined ? '.' : decSeparator;
thouSeparator = thouSeparator === undefined ? ',' : thouSeparator;

var num = this,
    sign = num < 0 ? '-' : '',
    i = parseInt(num = Math.abs(+num || 0).toFixed(decPlaces)) + '',
    j = (j = i.length) > 3 ? j % 3 : 0;

return sign + (j ? i.substr(0, j) + thouSeparator : '') + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, '$1' + thouSeparator) + (decPlaces ? decSeparator + Math.abs(num - i).toFixed(decPlaces).slice(2) : '');
});

JavaScript中有一个内置函数toFixed：

var num = new Number(349);
document.write("$" + num.toFixed(2));

Patrick热门答案的CoffeeScript：

Number::formatMoney = (decimalPlaces, decimalChar, thousandsChar) ->
  n = this
  c = decimalPlaces
  d = decimalChar
  t = thousandsChar
  c = (if isNaN(c = Math.abs(c)) then 2 else c)
  d = (if d is undefined then "." else d)
  t = (if t is undefined then "," else t)
  s = (if n < 0 then "-" else "")
  i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(+n or 0).toFixed(c)) + ""
  j = (if (j = i.length) > 3 then j % 3 else 0)
  s + (if j then i.substr(0, j) + t else "") + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + t) + (if c then d + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) else "")
