JavaScript: Round to a number of decimal places, but strip extra zeros

floating pointjavascriptmathrounding

Here's the scenario: I'm getting .9999999999999999 when I should be getting 1.0.
I can afford to lose a decimal place of precision, so I'm using .toFixed(15), which kind of works.

The rounding works, but the problem is that I'm given 1.000000000000000.
Is there a way to round to a number of decimal places, but strip extra whitespace?

Note: .toPrecision isn't what I want; I only want to specify how many numbers after the decimal point.
Note 2: I can't just use .toPrecision(1) because I need to keep the high precision for numbers that actually have data after the decimal point. Ideally, there would be exactly as many decimal places as necessary (up to 15).
