<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi to all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I'm blind or dreaming, please, let me know, but,
try this first:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's easy to make the following sum in your
head: 0.15 + 0.015 = 0.165 (OBVIOUS!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>TRY THIS IN YOUR IE 6 WITH SP1: alert (0.15 +
0.015); you will obtain: 164999999999999998</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OR:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>alert (0.15 + 0.015 - 0.15 - 0.015); - I
think the result is obvious for any human, but not for IE, that will return:
-1.3877787807814457e-17 (that indeed, is almost 0, but not realy
0...).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I still can't believe it! And of course, those are
not special numbers. You can find many, many more (ex: 0.15+0.075, or
0.14+0.016) - I think the bug is in the cases that the sum of the last
digit of each number is 10, and the number of digits representing the precision
is different.</FONT></DIV>
