Have you tried using your error console? What error messages do you receive? reduce() is not supported by all browsers.

Or try this:-

<script type="text/javascript">

// works with negative numbers also
function formatNumber(x) {
return x.toFixed(2).split('').reverse().join('').replace(/(?=\d*\.?)(\d{3})/g,'$1,').split('').reverse().join('').replace(/^[\,]/,'');
}

var num = formatNumber(1234567.8897);
num = "$" + num;
alert (num);

</script>
