Google Calculator

by Christopher Bia

An interface to the Google Calculator, which accepts both mathematical ("sin(0.5pi)") and natural-language ("half a cup in teaspoons") queries. Even crazy things like "the speed of light in cubits per fortnight" work.

The Widget features a history of previous calculations, a basic syntax checker, and a nifty animation for invalid queries.
Current Version: 1.1.3

    Is it possible for the author to update with a fix? that way us novice users won't have to use widget converters and fix the problems ourselves...
    thank you so much.

    This was a very good Widget during the use I got out of it, but now I have some problems.
    The main problem is that I keep getting an "invalid expression" error no matter what I type in - like "1 gram * c^2", "sin(1)", and "1*2".
    The second problem is that the text I type in is no longer aligned properly in the box. It now appears partly hidden by the bottom bezel.
    This next is more of a feature request than a bug report, but could you allow the user to res More

    The widget doesn't work for me, I keep getting "Invalid expression!" no matter what I type in. Yes even simple things like "1+2" generate this error message. Cool idea, if only it worked!

    To fix this widget do the following:
    1. Copy the widget and rename it to have a .zip extension e.g. googlecalc.zip.
    2. Unzip this file and find main.js
    3. Search for this: var grepString = "<td nowrap>
    4. Replace this whole line with this: var grepString = "<td nowrap><h2 class=r><font size=\\+1><b>(.*?) = (.*?)</b></h2></td>";
    5. Save main.js,
    6. zip the folder googlecalculator.widget and
    7. Remove .zip extension and make sure it now has .widget extension.
    8. Enjoy your fixed widget
