Look into using the "Number" object. It has a "toPrecision" method you can
use to set the amount of decimal places (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/script56/html/76e87c37-cf6c-46cc-bafa-04be1fe3d78d.asp?frame=true).
Do something like:
var myNum = new Number("4.6582612354");
var my2DecNum = myNum.toPrecision(3);
I haven't tested this, so if it doesn't work, get back to me.
