Yes, they're the same within a reasonable rounding error. Keep in mind that
you'll get some differences depending on how the calculation is actually
carried out, as these numbers are getting toward the limits of accuracy with
floating point. For example, the JS result might be different in different
browsers or on different platforms. However, depending on your tolerances,
it shouldn't really matter.
As for the other question, numberformat() should clean up the CF output
nicely.

: in javascript
: this:
: var tmpValue = 1321.17405912 * 13.6307948336 * 2.87603038824E-009;
: alert(tmpValue);
: equals:
: 0.00005179343195439509
:
:
: in CF
: this:
: tmpValue = 1321.17405912 * 13.6307948336 * 2.87603038824E-009;
: writeoutput("{" & tmpValue & "}");
: equals:
: 5.17934319544E-005
:
:
: now mind you I am assuming these values are the same, just in
: different formats or are they not?
:
: and if they are, how you reckon I can get it back to a
: regular format, cuz it's shaggin my
: calculations....
