JavaScript Thousand Separator, Decimal Number Formatter

What is the JavaScript Thousand Separator, Decimal Number Formatter?

A simple JavaScript function for numerical formatting. It formats decimal numbers by inserting separator characters at the thousands positions. For example, 1234512345.12345 becomes 1,234,512,345.12345. You can also specify other separator and decimal point characters to suit your culture.
