texte = No, Kelly LeBrock is not coding WebCatalog templates, but I'm seeing my own weird science...I was starting to the compile a list of operators and math functions and was checking out some sample code, only to experience some weird things with my MATH context. It seems that my math functions are evaluating to radians instead of to degrees and are requiring radians for input rather than degrees. For example, [math]acos(.6)[/math] evaluates to 0.927295218001612 which if multiplied by 180/3.14159 you get the value of 53.13 that's in the manual. As another example, [math]cos(45)[/math] evaluates to 0.52532198881773 instead of 0.70 as the manual states, whereas [math]cos(45*3.14159/180)[/math] evaluates to 0.7. Finally, some expressions aren't evaluating at all such as pi.Please tell me that there's a setting somewhere that I'm missing.Thanks, BrianBrian Wachter Stoneport Technologies, LLC (207) 772-3826 ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
