I once found a js implementation of printf.

You can take a look at the script translated from Italian here [translate.google.com]

While not perfect, it does give some basic formatting capability:

js> sprintf("%3.4e", 3.345235423545);
3.3452

I found it floating on the net, so I believe it can be used freely. The authors email is within.
