EDIT 2:

Use the Number object's toFixed method like this:

var num = Number(0.005) // The Number() only visualizes the type and is not needed
var roundedString = num.toFixed(2);
var rounded = Number(roundedString); // toFixed() returns a string (often suitable for printing already)

It rounds 42.0054321 to 42.01

It rounds 0.005 to 0.01

It rounds -0.005 to -0.01 (So the absolute value increases on rounding at .5 border)
