Reimplementation of Number.prototype.toFixed

Number.prototype.toFixed was giving me too many problems, so I just rewrote it.
There’s the source.

/**

Number.prototype.toFixed_fix = function (precision) {
	var num = this.toString(), zeros = '00000000000000000000', newNum, decLength, factor;
	if (0 > precision || precision > 20) {
		throw new RangeError("toFixed() digits argument must be between 0 and 20");
	}
	if (Math.abs(num) === Infinity || Math.abs(num) >= 1e21) {
		return num;
	}
	precision = parseInt(precision, 10) || 0;
	newNum = num = isNaN(parseInt(num, 10)) ? '0' : num;
	if (/\./.test(num)) {
		decLength = num.split('.')[1].length;
		if (decLength < precision) {
			newNum += zeros.substring(0, precision - decLength);
		} else {
			factor = Math.pow(10, precision);
			newNum = Math.round(num * factor) / factor;
		}
	} else {
		if (precision) {
			newNum += '.' + zeros.substring(0, precision);
		}
	}
	return newNum;
};
