No problem. I added it to above post in an edit after your reply, but in case you didn't see it and are interested, you can check out my benchmarks for the custom toFixed functions here:

jsperf.com/decimal-rounding-tofixe...

It is DRASTICALLY faster as toFixed is painfully slow. Usually this wouldn't matter, but I had a usecase where I had an animation function that was getting called dozens of times a second and there were 3 places in it that required fixing a value to a set number of decimal places. Animation was noticeably smoother when I replaced toFixed with my custom functions.
