I was interested in this article because of well known problem of precision presenting floating point numbers with JavaScript. This article focus on the problem but doesn't solve it because it is said : "Come back later to this site, to further understand the calculator that I showed you in the beginning, plus I'll show you a trick, that'll work as a nice workaround to the problem, with JavaScript being inaccurate.".

In my opinion, it will be very fine to add a solution rounding off JavaScript floating point numbers : for instance Netscape's solution which works perfectly and can be found at the following address : http://developer.netscape.com/docs/examples/javascript/rounding.html.

Best regards,

Raphael

PS : IRT is really an impressing database of knowledge. It gave me answers to my questions lots of time. Great work made by great people !
