kendo.tostring does not format number when value is string

I am using kendo.toString() method to format string as documented here So for example

   kendo.culture("en-US");
   kendo.toString(5000, "n")

returns 5,000

However if i pass string parameter then it does not work

   kendo.culture("en-US");
   kendo.toString("5000", "n")

returns 5000

To format a number with kendo.toString() you should pass a number and not a string

You can simply parse it:

var val = parseFloat($(this).val());
val = kendo.toString(val, "n")

See updated JSFiddle

See kendo.toString() logic

From kendo.all.js:

var toString = function (value, fmt, culture) {
  if (fmt) {
    if (objectToString.call(value) === '[object Date]') {
      return formatDate(value, fmt, culture);
        } else if (typeof value === NUMBER) {
          return formatNumber(value, fmt, culture);
        }
    }
    return value !== undefined ? value : '';
  };
}

In case value is a string, toString() will echo it back

I noticed that doing the following seemed to work, so I guess that particular method does not support string inputs.

kendo.culture("en-US");
$("#testnumber").text(kendo.toString(5000,"n"))

$("#myinput").change(function(){
   var val = $(this).val();

   val = kendo.toString(parseFloat(val), "n")
   $(this).val(val);

})
