FYI, there is a central place where all the formatting goes through:
http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/scripts/ui/formatter.js
(provided that the value types of the properties are declared
appropriately). So, to get the commas into the numbers, you could
override this function:
Exhibit.Formatter._NumberFormatter.prototype.formatText =
function(value) {
if (this._decimalDigits == -1) {
return value.toString();
} else {
return new Number(value).toFixed(this._decimalDigits);
}
};
In future fixes that formatting option can be built-in. More to put on
the to-do list! :-)
