Use the buttons or the number pad of your keyboard to enter numbers and operators.
NOTE: Opera and Firefox assign special functions to some keys of the number pad, so they
won't work with the calculator.

Notes:
The calculator looks strange in IE 5 on Mac OS, but it works. Opera has problems when
dragging the calculator, i.e. it selects the text underneath.
Precision of floating point numbers is limited to 13 decimals. This is necessary because
JavaScript isn't very accurate with floating point numbers; for instance, when you add 0.2 to
0.1 with JavaScript, the result will be 0.30000000000000004 instead of the expected 0.3.
JS-Calculator tries to fix this by rounding and limiting the number of decimals. Exception:
numbers in exponential notation, e.g. 1.7953425537109374e-9.
