re: Javascript Calculator diff

What browser are you using? With Firefox 1.5.06 I see no change in results (but I do see your point). For instance, a quick wizmode game as a wizard, int 17, xl 30, attack at skilled shows FoD with a failure of 51% but the calculator shows 62%, change or no change. Also, magic mapping is at 85% failure in game (unskilled) versus 91% from the calculator. Thanks for the help, I'll continue working on it as time allows.

Just checked Opera 9 as well, no difference. --Seen 02:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I appearantly fooled myself by introducing (and fixing before sending) a bug that cancelled out the error for my test case (L1/3/6 Priest, 20 WIS, +Identify). (Firefox 1.0 debian package, BTW). --Stefanor 05:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Second fix, maybe this one will actually work:

Ah, that does it here as well. Thanks much. --Seen 00:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
