Sidebar Calculator Widget
This widget is a fully functional non-scientific calculator created entirely out of javascript, absolutely positioned divs and a nice background image. However, as nice as it is there are a few problems with it. Firstly, because I wanted it to be like a real calculator and display only what you are currently typing (as opposed to displaying the entire equation) it can –albeit rarely — just mess up. I tried a lot of combinations but I haven’t found any new bugs; however, I’m sure there are some left over. If you happen to find out what is causing them I would greatly appreciate it if you were to let me know. The second problem is that it is a side bar calculator…how many people need to access a calculator while reading a blog? The third problem is: as always this was made in and for Firefox; other lesser equipped browsers may not allow it to function properly.
