1 2 3 4 5
I am not sure if it was the calculator, but my pre started shutting down on its on. That started happening as soon as i installed it. I would pull my phone out and i would have to power it on 
. I
. ISo after a couple of hours of tinkering with this app, i finally managed to add a decimal button... yay(maybe i am late?). That being said it was a major under achievement and possibly a terrible way of implementing it due to the fact i have no previous knowledge of JS, and I can now say Js is my least favorite language as of yet.
This was done on a non rooted pre (this was adding to the time in addition to just using text editor that came with ubuntu )- with somewhere near 50 installations and deletions, not quite sure what gets left of the program since i have no way to check aside from rooting the phone, which I would like to avoid.
The author of this program aside from being against change, is actually pretty cool considering

So now I am not sure where to go from here, I guess I could post all the changes that I made to the source on wiki or something. Maybe the author will decide to add a decimal :P/* Tip Calculator - a restaurant tip calculator for Palm WebOS.

Yes, I agree and maybe removing the line at the bottom (Sorry Mr. Dev, it just is a little tacky) let us know what you end up doing. it'd be perfect with a decimal
.A reminder not to be cheap is not a bad thing on a tip calculator.
I'm just disappointed it doesn't go to 30%, which is usually what I tip.

As far as decimals and rounding go, I wouldn't mind it if one could enter the bill as a decimal amount and then round up the final amount.
I've sent a mail to the author to see if its app is really open source.
I hope so ! It would be the 1st webos app on www.palmopensource.com - The PalmOS WebOS Open Source Portal - !

with him being such an expert i still cant figure out why he doesnt want to allow tax to be inputted by hand. hum. oh well
I have downloaded the tip calc and it works great! 
Sadly I don't own a web-server, but that's where google comes in

Can you compile your modifications into your own ipk and put it up there? I am feeling a bit too lazy to mod the js files today Sadly I don't own a web-server, but that's where google comes in

I can kinda understand jwz's point about rounding up. I don't like keeping track of exact change at restaurants, and I'm guessing the wait staff doesn't either. So what I normally do is add a set percentage to the bill for the tip, and then round the resulting total up to the nearest dollar. I may play around with implementing something like that.
BTW, is the text size for the tax/percentage/people supposed to be bigger than the original application? Some of the labels are getting cut off.
Thanks! Very nice... In addition to the labels... If you hit the "." a second time the results error out... Excellent start...
