Name
Object.toLocaleString( ) — return an object’s localized string representation
Availability
JavaScript 1.5; JScript 5.5; ECMAScript v3
Synopsis
object
.toString( )
Returns
A string representing the object.
Description
This method is intended to return a string representation of the
object, localized as appropriate for the current locale. The default
toLocaleString( )
method provided by the Object
class simply calls the toString( )
method and
returns the nonlocalized string that it returns. Note, however, that
other classes, including Array, Date, and Number, define their own
versions of this method to perform localized string conversions. When
defining your own classes, you may want to override this method as
well.
