easy...

var value = $("#text").val()+""; // value = 9.61 use $("#text").text() if you are not on select box...
value.replace(".", ":"); // value = 9:61

Answer 2

Probably the most elegant way of doing this is to do it in one step. See val().

$("#text").val(function(i, val) {
  return val.replace('.', ':');
});

compared to:

var val = $("#text").val();
$("#text").val(val.replace('.', ':'));

From the docs:

.val( function(index, value) )

function(index, value)A function returning the value to set.

This method is typically used to set the values of form fields. For <select multiple="multiple"> elements, multiple s can be selected by passing in an array.

The .val() method allows us to set the value by passing in a function. As of jQuery 1.4, the function is passed two arguments, the current element's index and its current value:

$('input:text.items').val(function(index, value) {
  return value + ' ' + this.className;
});

This example appends the string " items" to the text inputs' values.

This requires jQuery 1.4+.

Answer 3

(9.61 + "").replace('.',':')

or if your 9.61 is already string,

"9.61".replace('.',':')

Answer 4

Can be done with regular javascript function replace().

value.replace(".", ":");
