This seems like a silly question but I cant figure out how to convert an integer number that represent cents to dollars.

3000 -> 30.00

in javascript...

I was using ParseFloat but it's only giving me back the integer =/ I need to always display the cents even if its 0.

Use toFixed().

var num = 3000;

alert( (num/100).toFixed( 2 ) ); // alerts 30.00
