JavaScript Calculator (jscalc)

jscalc is written in JavaScript and CSS3, and may be easilty incorporated into a web-page.

To make it draggable (moveable), jQuery-UI is required.

As well as having basic mathematical functions, many in-build JavaScript functions, such as Math.random (), are available

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jscalc'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jscalc

Add the following HTML code to the page where you want the calculator to appear

<div id = "myCalculator"> <div id="panelDiv"> <input type ="text" id = "calcPanel" /> </div> <!--End panelDiv--> </div><!--End myCalculator Div-->

Add the following to the bottom of application.html.erb (the script file must render in the body section of the HTML page, not in the head section)

<%= javascript_include_tag "jscalc.js" %>

Add the following line to the head section of application.html.erb

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "jscalc.css" %>

TO MAKE THE CALCULATOR DRAGGABLE, ensure that jQuery-ui is installed or add the following files to the head section of application.html.erb BEFORE the stylesheet link tag.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

x.getMonth()
