Bugs

In Navigator 2.0, Math.round() did not correctly round very large numbers. The following workaround can be used:

function my_round(num) 
{
    var fl =index.html Math.floor(num);
    var ce = Math.ceil(num);
    return (fl == ce) ? num :
           ((num - fl) < (num - ce)) ? fl : 
           ce;
}
