version changes:

1.1: changed the calculator to a popup menu (redo the NAVBAR template edit and replace the contents of the calculator template to upgrade from 1.0) Thanks to nexialys for the suggestion.

here are some screenshots

would be good to have this as a popup, like the buddylist, instead of a full page, so we can continue browsing during calculations...

good idea! thanks... I will add it in a bit.

Let us know when this is done. Then I would install.

The file has been updated to version 1.1, thanks to the popup suggestion from nexialys.

Haha, I am sorry but PWNED...a calculator? NICE!

Thanks.

will this work on 3.5?

I don't see why not since it is only a popup javascript window.
