Leading zero not displayed in ie

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. browser ie8 
2. use the following code:
$(function(){
$(".amount").live('blur',function(){
$(this).parseNumber({format:"#,##0.00", locale:"nl"});
$(this).formatNumber({format:"#,##0.00", locale:"nl"});
});
});
3. when I leave the input field blank, on blur it will display ',00' instead of 
the expected output '0,00'. It works correct in ff and chrome.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
jquery.numberformatter-1.2.1.js, windows 7, browser ie8

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is on line 323:
onesFormat.substr(-1,1) => this will return '#' in ie and '0' in chrome or ff 
with the format "#,##0.00"

I replaced it with onesFormat.charAt(onesFormat.length-1) and it worked fine.

String.substr() with a negative start index does not work in IE, returns an 
empty string:

Thanks both, it is indeed a problem with the substr(-1) vs IE.

Fixed in repo. Official release to follow this week.

Diff:
323 -           if (!(ones == 0 && onesFormat.substr(-1,1) == '#') || forcedToZero) {
323 +           if (!(ones == 0 && onesFormat.substr(onesFormat.length - 1) == '#') || 
forcedToZero) {
