    <p>I need some help with floating point numbers...please!</p> <p>Here's the thing, I have code like below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; function add() { document.getElementById("answer").value = parseFloat(document.getElementById("num1").value) + parseFloat(document.getElementById("num2").value); } function subtract() { document.getElementById("answer").value = parseFloat(document.getElementById("num1").value) - parseFloat(document.getElementById("num2").value); } function multiply() { document.getElementById("answer").value = parseFloat(document.getElementById("num1").value) * parseFloat(document.getElementById("num2").value); } function divide() { document.getElementById("answer").value = parseFloat(document.getElementById("num1").value) / parseFloat(document.getElementById("num2").value); } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Sorry it's a bit long! And then the html is pretty simple:</p> <pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;Calculator&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Enter a value in each box below, then click an operation&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;form id="calculatorForm"&gt; &lt;input id="num1" value="0" type="text"&gt; &lt;input id="num2" value="0" type="text"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;input value="+" onclick="add();" type="button"&gt; &lt;input value="-" onclick="subtract();" type="button"&gt; &lt;input value="*" onclick="multiply();" type="button"&gt; &lt;input value="/" onclick="divide();" type="button"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;input id="answer" value="0" type="text"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>You can pretty much guess what my question is gonna be: when I multiply, divide, or subtract two floating point numbers, I end up with an infinite decimal.</p> <p>I need a quick solution that will round those numbers to two decimal points, and I need it to work later on, because I then need to implement Fahrenheit-to-Celsisus operations afterwards.</p> <p>I don't care how this is done, but it <strong>must</strong> be Javascript. Sorry if this has been answered before, but I really need an answer soon! Thanks!</p> <p>EDIT: <strong>A BIG Thankyou to the helpful people who answered my questions. Thank you!</strong></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
