Set Value not pushing value after decimal

[nikzz]

I am having field float type field named value and another field as answer. What I am doing is on inserting a float value let say, 14.00 , I am using set value to push that value to field answer. Right now what is happening is if I am inserting 14.00, only 14 is inserted (but I want 14.00 to be inserted). Similarly, if I insert 9.80 , I want 9.80 to be pushed but its 9.8 which is pushed. Any help how to achieve that because I want 2-decimal place value whether it has to be zero.

Also, I dont want to make my field as Data as there is validation that only float values can be inserted.

In the field change its Precision

Thats not pushing the real float value but pushing 14.00 as 14

Small Text

when assigning value
a = 10.0
p = 2
s = ‘%.{0}f’.format(p) % a
print s

or

try Decimal module

from decimal import Decimal
num1 = Decimal(‘10.000’)
str(num1)
‘10.000’
num2 = Decimal(‘10.00’)
str(num2)
‘10.00’

My Bad . Just used .toFixed(2) as:

frm.doc.value.toFixed(2);

and it worked like charm
