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

    Google has changed their response page. The main.js file in the widget needs a minor change to the extractResults function as below. The change is the addition of <h2 class=r> and </h2> in the grepString variable.

    function extractResults(googleResponse) {
    var grepString = "<td nowrap><h2 class=r><font size=\\+1><b>(.*?) = (.*?)</b></h2></td>";

    I can see the need for the main.js change but after applying it it still continues to say invalid expression for anything typed in, and, after closing the widget and reopening, it seems to re-download the js file and wipe out the change. The main.js files I can find on the system are in C:\Documents and Settings\CSAaronk\Local Settings\Application Data\Yahoo\Widget Engine\Main\Google Calculator.widget\Google Calculator.widget\Contents and C:\Documents and Settings\CSAaronk\Local Settings\Applic More
