[Javascript] removing periods

[Håkan Magnusson]

Of course, my regexp should have been

TOTAL.replace(/\./, '', 'g');

then you won't need the while loop.

There is a need to escape the period in regular expressions, since '.' 
means 'everything' (except newlines, unless DOTALL etc etc). There is 
however no need to use a regular expression in this case, I just love 
regexps. :)

Regards,
H
