Convert Numbers to Words

[MartyrSyx]

Is there a rule to be able to convert a number to words? Like so: 500 becomes "Five Hundred", 125 becomes "One Hundred Twenty Five" and so forth.

Hey, anything's possible, right? /me looks around...

Is there a limit to how high your numbers go? 100s? 1000s?

 

var number = Field("Number"); // this is the only line you need to edit (see comment on line 108)

Thanks Guys. I feel like an idiot. I searched different javascript language references online. I didn't even think about looking for and actual script. Looks like this will work.
