Try change this line and replace the space with a comma:
str = str.replace(regex, ‘$1 $2′);

Good luck!

Yes, that could be a good idea. And you could have options for currency and similar things. I put it on my to do list for research since I have never written a jQuery plugin before!

Looks great. But why not create a jQuery plugin instead?

$(‘#myTextbox’).TheNameOfThePlugin();

Henrik Tengelin gave me some valuable feedback so I have updated the script above.

It does not pollute the global namespace with its two conversion functions. Instead they are declared locally instead.

I do reuse the lookup of input elements to increase performance and also use this.value direct instead of the jQuery wrapper that does the same.

Also sprinkled some semicolons to make jslint happy and this also improves performance a little.
