Hi:

    Well, *I* tested it on my machine, after inputting 123.45, and got a 
nice long floating point result !!

    Remember the *value* of an input field is *text* -- and is *not* a 
numeric !

    You must get this 'value' and convert it to a numeric by some means. 
For example use parseFloat("123.45",10) . This says: Take the string 
"123.45" and convert it to a floating point numeric with a base 10  ---  
which is most surely what you wish.

So, take another 'head-crashing' look at it.
