JavaScript has an annoying habit of treating numbers as strings. "hrRate * OTRate + hrRate" may well be concatenating the values, not adding them. I usually just divide appropriate values by one to force them to numbers (eg: hrRate/1), and it should then add them correctly. >This is sooo simple that I will kick myself as it is probably something >extremely easy but not working right: > >I have a number (1.5) and by taking the form value say (13) and >multiplying it by 1.5 returns 19.51?? >That should be 19.50.
