BTW, I think you meant "document.calculator," not just "calculator."  
You have to give it a context. You have 2 options (off the top of my  
head):

1. Change all instances of calculator to document.calculator
2. Keep calculator and assign document.calculator to it before calling  
it

var calculator = document.calculator;

Of course, you would have to do this for every scope necessary.
