The previous poster is incorrect. "01234567890" is indeed an integer.
The computer of course ignores the leading 0. CF's precision will only
go up to 999999999999 (12 digits) and then it starts using scientific
notation.. (1.23456789012E+012). So, if you want to handle numbers over
a trillion precisely, you'll have to do some creative programming.
Also, beware the commas. Strip them out before using val() or integer
().
